In YUV pixel format, brightness information (Y, also: luminance) and color information (U and V) are separated. The U channel results from the difference between the blue component and Y.The V channel results from the difference between the red component and Y.

YUV pixel formats start with the prefix “YUV,” followed by the pixel encoding (420, 422), the bit depth (8), and the data layout type (YY_UV*, YY_VU*, UYVY).
