From 64d5702229d86deacf42a43bc893a981f72d4908 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Sun, 31 May 2015 08:10:32 -0300 Subject: [media] vivid.txt: update the vivid documentation Document the new Transfer Function control (and fix the documentation for the other colorspace controls which were not quite correct). Mention the support for 4:2:0 and more multiplanar formats. Update the TODO list at the end.
