Each four bytes is two Y's, a Cb and a Cr. Each Y goes to one of the pixels, and the Cb and Cr belong to both pixels. As you can see, the Cr and Cb components have half the horizontal resolution of the Y component. <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV </constant> is known in the Windows environment as YUY2.</para> <example> <title><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV</constant> 4 × 4 pixel image</title> <formalpara> <title>Byte Order.</title> <para>Each cell is one byte. <informaltable frame="none"> <tgroup cols="9" align="center"> <colspec align="left" colwidth="2*" /> <tbody valign="top"> <row> <entry>start + 0:</entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>00</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>00</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>01</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>00</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>02</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>01</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>03</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>01</subscript></entry> </row> <row> <entry>start + 8:</entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>10</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>10</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>11</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>10</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>12</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>11</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>13</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>11</subscript></entry> </row> <row> <entry>start + 16:</entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>20</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>20</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>21</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>20</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>22</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>21</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>23</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>21</subscript></entry> </row> <row> <entry>start + 24:</entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>30</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>30</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>31</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>30</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>32</subscript></entry> <entry>Cb<subscript>31</subscript></entry> <entry>Y'<subscript>33</subscript></entry> <entry>Cr<subscript>31</subscript></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </informaltable> </para> </formalpara> <formalpara> <title>Color Sample Location.</title> <para> <informaltable frame="none"> <tgroup cols="7" align="center"> <tbody valign="top"> <row> <entry></entry> <entry>0</entry><entry></entry><entry>1</entry><entry></entry> <entry>2</entry><entry></entry><entry>3</entry> </row> <row> <entry>0</entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry><entry></entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry> </row> <row> <entry>1</entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry><entry></entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry> </row> <row> <entry>2</entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry><entry></entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry> </row> <row> <entry>3</entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry><entry></entry> <entry>Y</entry><entry>C</entry><entry>Y</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </informaltable> </para> </formalpara> </example> </refsect1> </refentry>
