+ <title>Image Formats</title>

+ <para>The V4L2 API was primarily designed for devices exchanging
+image data with applications. The
+<structname>v4l2_pix_format</structname> structure defines the format
+and layout of an image in memory. Image formats are negotiated with
+the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl. (The explanations here focus on video
+capturing and output, for overlay frame buffer formats see also
+&VIDIOC-G-FBUF;.)</para>

+ <title>Standard Image Formats</title>
+
+ <para>In order to exchange images between drivers and
+applications, it is necessary to have standard image data formats
+which both sides will interpret the same way. V4L2 includes several
+such formats, and this section is intended to be an unambiguous
+specification of the standard image data formats in V4L2.</para>
+
+ <para>V4L2 drivers are not limited to these formats, however.
+Driver-specific formats are possible. In that case the application may
+depend on a codec to convert images to one of the standard formats
+when needed. But the data can still be stored and retrieved in the
+proprietary format. For example, a device may support a proprietary
+compressed format. Applications can still capture and save the data in
+the compressed format, saving much disk space, and later use a codec
+to convert the images to the X Windows screen format when the video is
+to be displayed.</para>
+
+ <para>Even so, ultimately, some standard formats are needed, so
+the V4L2 specification would not be complete without well-defined
+standard formats.</para>
+
+ <para>The V4L2 standard formats are mainly uncompressed formats. The
+pixels are always arranged in memory from left to right, and from top
+to bottom. The first byte of data in the image buffer is always for
+the leftmost pixel of the topmost row. Following that is the pixel
+immediately to its right, and so on until the end of the top row of
+pixels. Following the rightmost pixel of the row there may be zero or
+more bytes of padding to guarantee that each row of pixel data has a
+certain alignment. Following the pad bytes, if any, is data for the
+leftmost pixel of the second row from the top, and so on. The last row
+has just as many pad bytes after it as the other rows.</para>
+
+ <para>In V4L2 each format has an identifier which looks like
+<constant>PIX_FMT_XXX</constant>, defined in the <link
+linkend="videodev">videodev.h</link> header file. These identifiers
+represent <link linkend="v4l2-fourcc">four character codes</link>
+which are also listed below, however they are not the same as those
+used in the Windows world.</para>

+ <title>YUV Formats</title>
+
+ <para>YUV is the format native to TV broadcast and composite video
+signals. It separates the brightness information (Y) from the color
+information (U and V or Cb and Cr). The color information consists of
+red and blue <emphasis>color difference</emphasis> signals, this way
+the green component can be reconstructed by subtracting from the
+brightness component. See <xref linkend="colorspaces" /> for conversion
+examples. YUV was chosen because early television would only transmit
+brightness information. To add color in a way compatible with existing
+receivers a new signal carrier was added to transmit the color
+difference signals. Secondary in the YUV format the U and V components
+usually have lower resolution than the Y component. This is an analog
+video compression technique taking advantage of a property of the
+human visual system, being more sensitive to brightness
+information.</para>
