9 <refpurpose>Formats with ½ horizontal and vertical
10 chroma resolution. This format has two planes - one for luminance and one for
11 chrominance. Chroma samples are interleaved. The difference to
12 <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12</constant> is the memory layout. Pixels are
13 grouped in macroblocks of 64x32 size. The order of macroblocks in memory is

20 <para>This is the two-plane versions of the YUV 4:2:0 format where data
21 is grouped into 64x32 macroblocks. The three components are separated into two
22 sub-images or planes. The Y plane has one byte per pixel and pixels are grouped
23 into 64x32 macroblocks. The CbCr plane has the same width, in bytes, as the Y
24 plane (and the image), but is half as tall in pixels. The chroma plane is also
25 grouped into 64x32 macroblocks.</para>
26 <para>Width of the buffer has to be aligned to the multiple of 128, and
27 height alignment is 32. Every four adjactent buffers - two horizontally and two
28 vertically are grouped together and are located in memory in Z or flipped Z
30 <para>Layout of macroblocks in memory is presented in the following

41 The requirement that width is multiple of 128 is implemented because,
42 the Z shape cannot be cut in half horizontally. In case the vertical resolution
43 of macroblocks is odd then the last row of macroblocks is arranged in a linear
45 <para>In case of chroma the layout is identical. Cb and Cr samples are
46 interleaved. Height of the buffer is aligned to 32.
