Uncompressed RGB Video Subtypes
The following subtypes define uncompressed RGB formats.
RGB Formats With No Alpha Channel
GUID | Description |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB1 | RGB, 1 bit per pixel (bpp), palettized |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB4 | RGB, 4 bpp, palettized |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB8 | RGB, 8 bpp |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB555 | RGB 555, 16 bpp |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB565 | RGB 565, 16 bpp |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB24 | RGB, 24 bpp |
MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB32 | RGB, 32 bpp |
RGB Formats With Alpha Channel
GUID | Description |
MEDIASUBTYPE_ARGB1555 | RGB 555 with alpha channel |
MEDIASUBTYPE_ARGB32 | RGB 32 with alpha channel |
MEDIASUBTYPE_ARGB4444 | 16-bit RGB with alpha channel; 4 bits per channel |
MEDIASUBTYPE_A2R10G10B10 | 32-bit RGB with alpha channel; 10 bits per RGB channel plus 2 bits for alpha. |
MEDIASUBTYPE_A2B10G10R10 | 32-bit RGB with alpha channel; 10 bits per RGB channel plus 2 bits for alpha. |
For palettized formats, the color of each pixel is specified as an index into a palette. The palette must be included in the format block, following the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure. For non-palettized formats, the color of each pixel is specified directly; the memory layout depends on the bit depth:
- RGB 555 uses the following memory layout:
High-order byte: Low-order byte: X R R R R R G G G G G B B B B B
X = Don't care, R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue
RGB 565 uses the following memory layout:
High-order byte: Low-order byte: R R R R R G G G G G G B B B B B
For RGB 24, every pixel is an RGBTRIPLE. Each color is one byte, with a value from 0 to 255, inclusive. The memory layout is:
Byte 0 1 2 Value Blue Green Red For RGB 32, every pixel is an RGBQUAD. Each color is one byte, with a value from 0 to 255, inclusive. The memory layout is:
Byte 0 1 2 3 Value Blue Green Red Alpha or Don't Care
If the subtype is MEDIASUBTYPE_ARGB32, byte 3 contains a value for the alpha channel. If the subtype is MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB32, byte 3 should be ignored.
A2R10G10B10 uses the following layout:
Bit 0 - 9 10 - 19 20 - 29 30 - 31 Value Blue Green Red Alpha A2B10G10R10 uses the following layout:
Bit 0 - 9 10 - 19 20 - 29 30 - 31 Value Red Green Blue Alpha
