	<title>Description</title>

	<para>M420 is a YUV format with &frac12; horizontal and vertical chroma
	subsampling (YUV 4:2:0). Pixels are organized as interleaved luma and
	chroma planes. Two lines of luma data are followed by one line of chroma
	data.</para>
	<para>The luma plane has one byte per pixel. The chroma plane contains
	interleaved CbCr pixels subsampled by &frac12; in the horizontal and
	vertical directions. Each CbCr pair belongs to four pixels. For example,
Cb<subscript>0</subscript>/Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to
Y'<subscript>00</subscript>, Y'<subscript>01</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, Y'<subscript>11</subscript>.</para>

	<para>All line lengths are identical: if the Y lines include pad bytes
	so do the CbCr lines.</para>
