+ - MPEG-2 parsed slice data, as extracted from the MPEG-2 bitstream.
+ This format is adapted for stateless video decoders that implement a
+ MPEG-2 pipeline (using the :ref:`codec` and :ref:`media-request-api`).
+ Metadata associated with the frame to decode is required to be passed
+ through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMS`` control and
+ quantization matrices can optionally be specified through the
+ ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_QUANTIZATION`` control.
+ See the :ref:`associated Codec Control IDs <v4l2-mpeg-mpeg2>`.
+ Exactly one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use with
+ this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the appropriate number
+ of macroblocks to decode a full corresponding frame to the matching
+ capture buffer.
