V4L2_PIX_FMT_Z16 — 16-bit depth data with distance values at each pixel
This is a 16-bit format, representing depth data. Each pixel is a distance to the respective point in the image coordinates. Distance unit can vary and has to be negotiated with the device separately. Each pixel is stored in a 16-bit word in the little endian byte order.
