+******************
+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`].

+The next table lists the packed YUV 4:4:4 formats with 8 bits per component.
+They are named based on the order of the Y, Cb and Cr components as stored in

+format stores a pixel with Cr\ :sub:`7-0` in the first byte, Cb\ :sub:`7-0` in
+the second byte and Y'\ :sub:`7-0` in the third byte.
