+
+ <para>This is a multi-planar format, as opposed to a packed format.
+The three components are separated into three sub-images or planes.
+
+The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. The Cr data
+constitutes the second plane which is half the width and half
+the height of the Y plane (and of the image). Each Cr belongs to four
+pixels, a two-by-two square of the image. For example,
+Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
+Y'<subscript>01</subscript>, Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, and
+Y'<subscript>11</subscript>. The Cb data, just like the Cr plane, constitutes
+the third plane. </para>
+
+ <para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cr
+and Cb planes have half as many pad bytes after their rows. In other
+words, two Cx rows (including padding) is exactly as long as one Y row
+(including padding).</para>
+
+ <para><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420M</constant> is intended to be
+used only in drivers and applications that support the multi-planar API,
+described in <xref linkend="planar-apis"/>. </para>
