+****************************
+
+Formats with ½ horizontal and vertical chroma resolution. This format
+has two planes - one for luminance and one for chrominance. Chroma
+samples are interleaved. The difference to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12`` is the
+memory layout. Pixels are grouped in macroblocks of 64x32 size. The
+order of macroblocks in memory is also not standard.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This is the two-plane versions of the YUV 4:2:0 format where data is
+grouped into 64x32 macroblocks. The three components are separated into
+two sub-images or planes. The Y plane has one byte per pixel and pixels
+are grouped into 64x32 macroblocks. The CbCr plane has the same width,
+in bytes, as the Y plane (and the image), but is half as tall in pixels.
+The chroma plane is also grouped into 64x32 macroblocks.
+
+Width of the buffer has to be aligned to the multiple of 128, and height
+alignment is 32. Every four adjacent buffers - two horizontally and two
+vertically are grouped together and are located in memory in Z or
+flipped Z order.
+
+Layout of macroblocks in memory is presented in the following figure.

+
+    V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12MT macroblock Z shape memory layout
+
+The requirement that width is multiple of 128 is implemented because,
+the Z shape cannot be cut in half horizontally. In case the vertical
+resolution of macroblocks is odd then the last row of macroblocks is
+arranged in a linear order.
+
+In case of chroma the layout is identical. Cb and Cr samples are
+interleaved. Height of the buffer is aligned to 32.
