1 The cx23416 can produce (and the cx23415 can also read) raw YUV output. The
2 format of a YUV frame is specific to this chip and is called HM12. 'HM' stands
3 for 'Hauppauge Macroblock', which is a misnomer as 'Conexant Macroblock' would
6 The format is YUV 4:2:0 which uses 1 Y byte per pixel and 1 U and V byte per
9 The data is encoded as two macroblock planes, the first containing the Y
10 values, the second containing UV macroblocks.
12 The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels from left to right
13 and from top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line.
15 So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block, the
16 second 16 bytes are the second line of the top-left block, etc. After
17 transmitting this block the first line of the block on the right to the
18 first block is transmitted, etc.
20 The UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x8 UV values going from left
21 to right, top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line.
23 So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block and
24 contain 8 UV value pairs (16 bytes in total). The second 16 bytes are the
25 second line of 8 UV pairs of the top-left block, etc. After transmitting
26 this block the first line of the block on the right to the first block is
29 The code below is given as an example on how to convert HM12 to separate
30 Y, U and V planes. This code assumes frames of 720x576 (PAL) pixels.
32 The width of a frame is always 720 pixels, regardless of the actual specified
