	<title>Description</title>

	<para>This is a multi-planar format, as opposed to a packed format.
The three components are separated into three sub-images or planes.</para>

	<para>The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel.
For <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV422M</constant> the Cb data
constitutes the second plane which is half the width of the Y plane (and of the
image). Each Cb belongs to two pixels. For example,
Cb<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>01</subscript>. The Cr data, just like the Cb plane, is
in the third plane. </para>

	<para><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU422M</constant> is the same except
the Cr data is stored in the second plane and the Cb data in the third plane.
</para>

	<para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cb
and Cr 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_YUV422M</constant> and
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU422M</constant> are intended to be
used only in drivers and applications that support the multi-planar API,
described in <xref linkend="planar-apis"/>. </para>
