****************************
Defining Colorspaces in V4L2
****************************

In V4L2 colorspaces are defined by four values. The first is the
colorspace identifier (enum :ref:`v4l2_colorspace <v4l2-colorspace>`)
which defines the chromaticities, the default transfer function, the
default Y'CbCr encoding and the default quantization method. The second
is the transfer function identifier (enum
:ref:`v4l2_xfer_func <v4l2-xfer-func>`) to specify non-standard
transfer functions. The third is the Y'CbCr encoding identifier (enum
:ref:`v4l2_ycbcr_encoding <v4l2-ycbcr-encoding>`) to specify
non-standard Y'CbCr encodings and the fourth is the quantization
identifier (enum :ref:`v4l2_quantization <v4l2-quantization>`) to
specify non-standard quantization methods. Most of the time only the
colorspace field of struct :ref:`v4l2_pix_format <v4l2-pix-format>`
or struct :ref:`v4l2_pix_format_mplane <v4l2-pix-format-mplane>`
needs to be filled in.

.. note::

   The default R'G'B' quantization is full range for all
   colorspaces except for BT.2020 which uses limited range R'G'B'
   quantization.

       -  The raw colorspace. This is used for raw image capture where the
	  image is minimally processed and is using the internal colorspace
	  of the device. The software that processes an image using this
	  'colorspace' will have to know the internals of the capture
	  device.
