YUY2640x480

YUY2640x480 refers to a video format that combines a specific pixel format with a resolution. YUY2 is a planar interleaved color space format used in video and imaging. It is a YUV format where the luminance (Y) and chrominance (U and V) components are sampled and stored in an interleaved manner. This format is known for its good quality and relatively efficient use of bandwidth compared to RGB formats.

The resolution specified, 640x480, indicates that the video frame has 640 pixels horizontally and 480 pixels vertically. This resolution is commonly known as VGA (Video Graphics Array). VGA was a standard resolution for computer displays and has been widely used for video capture and streaming, particularly in older technologies and for applications where high detail is not paramount.

Therefore, YUY2640x480 describes video data that is encoded using the YUY2 color space and has a resolution of 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high. This combination was prevalent in applications such as digital cameras, webcams, and video conferencing systems where a balance between image quality and data size was important. Understanding this format is crucial for software and hardware that process or display video, ensuring correct interpretation of the color and spatial information.
