16Formats with ½ horizontal and vertical chroma resolution. This format
17has two planes - one for luminance and one for chrominance. Chroma
18samples are interleaved. The difference to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12`` is the
19memory layout. Pixels are grouped in macroblocks of 64x32 size. The
20order of macroblocks in memory is also not standard.

23Description
24===========
25
26This is the two-plane versions of the YUV 4:2:0 format where data is
27grouped into 64x32 macroblocks. The three components are separated into
28two sub-images or planes. The Y plane has one byte per pixel and pixels
29are grouped into 64x32 macroblocks. The CbCr plane has the same width,
30in bytes, as the Y plane (and the image), but is half as tall in pixels.
31The chroma plane is also grouped into 64x32 macroblocks.
32
33Width of the buffer has to be aligned to the multiple of 128, and height
34alignment is 32. Every four adjacent buffers - two horizontally and two
35vertically are grouped together and are located in memory in Z or
36flipped Z order.
37
38Layout of macroblocks in memory is presented in the following figure.

47    V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12MT macroblock Z shape memory layout
48
49The requirement that width is multiple of 128 is implemented because,
50the Z shape cannot be cut in half horizontally. In case the vertical
51resolution of macroblocks is odd then the last row of macroblocks is
52arranged in a linear order.
53
54In case of chroma the layout is identical. Cb and Cr samples are
55interleaved. Height of the buffer is aligned to 32.
