+RGB Formats
+***********
+
+These formats encode each pixel as a triplet of RGB values. They are packed
+formats, meaning that the RGB values for one pixel are stored consecutively in
+memory and each pixel consumes an integer number of bytes. When the number of
+bits required to store a pixel is not aligned to a byte boundary, the data is
+padded with additional bits to fill the remaining byte.
+
+The formats differ by the number of bits per RGB component (typically but not
+always the same for all components), the order of components in memory, and the
+presence of an alpha component or additional padding bits.
+
+The usage and value of the alpha bits in formats that support them (named ARGB
+or a permutation thereof, collectively referred to as alpha formats) depend on
+the device type and hardware operation. :ref:`Capture <capture>` devices
+(including capture queues of mem-to-mem devices) fill the alpha component in
+memory. When the device captures an alpha channel the alpha component will have
+a meaningful value. Otherwise, when the device doesn't capture an alpha channel
+but can set the alpha bit to a user-configurable value, the
+:ref:`V4L2_CID_ALPHA_COMPONENT <v4l2-alpha-component>` control is used to
+specify that alpha value, and the alpha component of all pixels will be set to
+the value specified by that control. Otherwise a corresponding format without
+an alpha component (XRGB or XBGR) must be used instead of an alpha format.
+
+:ref:`Output <output>` devices (including output queues of mem-to-mem devices
+and :ref:`video output overlay <osd>` devices) read the alpha component from
+memory. When the device processes the alpha channel the alpha component must be
+filled with meaningful values by applications. Otherwise a corresponding format
+without an alpha component (XRGB or XBGR) must be used instead of an alpha
+format.
+
+Formats that contain padding bits are named XRGB (or a permutation thereof).
+The padding bits contain undefined values and must be ignored by applications,
+devices and drivers, for both :ref:`capture` and :ref:`output` devices.
+
+.. note::
+
+ - In all the tables that follow, bit 7 is the most significant bit in a byte.
+ - 'r', 'g' and 'b' denote bits of the red, green and blue components
+ respectively. 'a' denotes bits of the alpha component (if supported by the
+ format), and 'x' denotes padding bits.
+
+
+Less Than 8 Bits Per Component
+==============================
+
+These formats store an RGB triplet in one, two or four bytes. They are named
+based on the order of the RGB components as seen in a 8-, 16- or 32-bit word,
+which is then stored in memory in little endian byte order (unless otherwise
+noted by the presence of bit 31 in the 4CC value), and on the number of bits
+for each component. For instance, the RGB565 format stores a pixel in a 16-bit
+word [15:0] laid out at as [R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
+R\ :sub:`0` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4` G\ :sub:`3` G\ :sub:`2` G\ :sub:`1`
+G\ :sub:`0` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2` B\ :sub:`1` B\ :sub:`0`], and
+stored in memory in two bytes, [R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
+R\ :sub:`0` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4` G\ :sub:`3`] followed by [G\ :sub:`2`
+G\ :sub:`1` G\ :sub:`0` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2` B\ :sub:`1`
+B\ :sub:`0`].

+8 Bits Per Component
+====================
+
+These formats store an RGB triplet in three or four bytes. They are named based
+on the order of the RGB components as stored in memory, and on the total number
+of bits per pixel. For instance, RGB24 format stores a pixel with [R\ :sub:`7`
+R\ :sub:`6` R\ :sub:`5` R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
+R\ :sub:`0`] in the first byte, [G\ :sub:`7` G\ :sub:`6` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4`
+G\ :sub:`3` G\ :sub:`2` G\ :sub:`1` G\ :sub:`0`] in the second byte and
+[B\ :sub:`7` B\ :sub:`6` B\ :sub:`5` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2`
+B\ :sub:`1` B\ :sub:`0`] in the third byte. This differs from the DRM format
+nomenclature that instead use the order of components as seen in a 24- or
+32-bit little endian word.

+Deprecated RGB Formats
+======================
+
+Formats defined in :ref:`pixfmt-rgb-deprecated` are deprecated and must not be
+used by new drivers. They are documented here for reference. The meaning of
+their alpha bits ``(a)`` is ill-defined and they are interpreted as in either
+the corresponding ARGB or XRGB format, depending on the driver.
