 ******************
 Packed YUV formats
 ******************

 Similarly to the packed RGB formats, the packed YUV formats store the Y, Cb and
 Cr components consecutively in memory. They may apply subsampling to the chroma
 components and thus differ in how they interlave the three components.

 .. note::

    - In all the tables that follow, bit 7 is the most significant bit in a byte.
    - 'Y', 'Cb' and 'Cr' denote bits of the luma, blue chroma (also known as
      'U') and red chroma (also known as 'V') components respectively. 'A'
      denotes bits of the alpha component (if supported by the format), and 'X'
      denotes padding bits.


 4:4:4 Subsampling
 =================

 These formats do not subsample the chroma components and store each pixels as a
 full triplet of Y, Cb and Cr values.

 The next table lists the packed YUV 4:4:4 formats with less than 8 bits per
 component. They are named based on the order of the Y, Cb and Cr components as
 seen in a 16-bit word, which is then stored in memory in little endian byte
 order, and on the number of bits for each component. For instance the YUV565
 format stores a pixel in a 16-bit word [15:0] laid out at as [Y'\ :sub:`4-0`
 Cb\ :sub:`5-0` Cr\ :sub:`4-0`], and stored in memory in two bytes,
 [Cb\ :sub:`2-0` Cr\ :sub:`4-0`] followed by [Y'\ :sub:`4-0` Cb\ :sub:`5-3`].
