195 - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y6``
197 - Old 6-bit greyscale format. Only the most significant 6 bits of

199 * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-S5C-UYVY-JPG:
201 - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_S5C_UYVY_JPG``
203 - Two-planar format used by Samsung S5C73MX cameras. The first plane
204 contains interleaved JPEG and UYVY image data, followed by meta
205 data in form of an array of offsets to the UYVY data blocks. The
206 actual pointer array follows immediately the interleaved JPEG/UYVY
207 data, the number of entries in this array equals the height of the
208 UYVY image. Each entry is a 4-byte unsigned integer in big endian
209 order and it's an offset to a single pixel line of the UYVY image.
210 The first plane can start either with JPEG or UYVY data chunk. The
211 size of a single UYVY block equals the UYVY image's width
212 multiplied by 2. The size of a JPEG chunk depends on the image and
213 can vary with each line.
215 The second plane, at an offset of 4084 bytes, contains a 4-byte
216 offset to the pointer array in the first plane. This offset is
217 followed by a 4-byte value indicating size of the pointer array.
218 All numbers in the second plane are also in big endian order.
219 Remaining data in the second plane is undefined. The information
220 in the second plane allows to easily find location of the pointer
221 array, which can be different for each frame. The size of the
222 pointer array is constant for given UYVY image height.
224 In order to extract UYVY and JPEG frames an application can
225 initially set a data pointer to the start of first plane and then
226 add an offset from the first entry of the pointers table. Such a
227 pointer indicates start of an UYVY image pixel line. Whole UYVY
228 line can be copied to a separate buffer. These steps should be
229 repeated for each line, i.e. the number of entries in the pointer
230 array. Anything what's in between the UYVY lines is JPEG data and
231 should be concatenated to form the JPEG stream.
232 * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MT21C:
234 - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C``
236 - Compressed two-planar YVU420 format used by Mediatek MT8173, MT8192,
237 MT8195 and more. The compression is lossless. This format have
238 similitude with ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MM21`` in term of alignment and tiling.
239 It remains an opaque intermediate format and the MDP hardware must be
240 used to convert ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C`` to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12M``,
241 ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M`` or ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420``.
242 * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-QC08C:
244 - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_QC08C``
246 - Compressed Macro-tile 8-Bit YUV420 format used by Qualcomm platforms.
247 It is an opaque intermediate format. The used compression is lossless
248 and it is used by various multimedia hardware blocks like GPU, display
249 controllers, ISP and video accelerators.
250 It contains four planes for progressive video and eight planes for

254 - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_QC10C``
256 - Compressed Macro-tile 10-Bit YUV420 format used by Qualcomm platforms.
257 It is an opaque intermediate format. The used compression is lossless
258 and it is used by various multimedia hardware blocks like GPU, display
259 controllers, ISP and video accelerators.
