V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV24, V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV42 — Formats with full horizontal and vertical
chroma resolutions, also known as YUV 4:4:4. One luminance and one
chrominance plane with alternating chroma samples as opposed to
V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420
These are two-plane versions of the YUV 4:4:4 format. The three
components are separated into two sub-images or planes. The Y plane is
first, with each Y sample stored in one byte per pixel. For
V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV24, a combined CbCr plane
immediately follows the Y plane in memory. The CbCr plane has the same
width and height, in pixels, as the Y plane (and the image). Each line
contains one CbCr pair per pixel, with each Cb and Cr sample stored in
one byte. V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV42 is the same except that
the Cb and Cr samples are swapped, the CrCb plane starts with a Cr
sample.
If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the CbCr plane has twice as many pad bytes after its rows.
