+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>These are planar formats, as opposed to a packed format.
+The three components are separated into three sub- images or planes.
+The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For
+<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420</constant>, the Cr plane immediately
+follows the Y plane in memory. The Cr plane is half the width and half
+the height of the Y plane (and of the image). Each Cr belongs to four
+pixels, a two-by-two square of the image. For example,
+Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
+Y'<subscript>01</subscript>, Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, and
+Y'<subscript>11</subscript>. Following the Cr plane is the Cb plane,
+just like the Cr plane. <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420</constant> is
+the same except the Cb plane comes first, then the Cr plane.</para>
+
+ <para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cr
+and Cb 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>
