2.7.21. V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV444M ('YM24'), V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU444M ('YM42')

V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU444M Planar formats with full horizontal resolution, also known as YUV and YVU 4:4:4

2.7.21.1. Description

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. For V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV444M the Cb data constitutes the second plane which is the same width and height as the Y plane (and as the image). The Cr data, just like the Cb plane, is in the third plane.

V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU444M is the same except the Cr data is stored in the second plane and the Cb data in the third plane.

If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cb and Cr planes have the same number of pad bytes after their rows.

V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV444M and V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV444M are intended to be used only in drivers and applications that support the multi-planar API, described in Single- and multi-planar APIs.

Byte Order. Each cell is one byte.
