+Interleaved grey-scale image, e.g. from a stereo-pair
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This is a grey-scale image with a depth of 16 bits per pixel, but with
+pixels from 2 sources interleaved and unpacked. Each pixel is stored
+in a 32-bit word in the little-endian order. On a little-endian machine
+these pixels can be deinterlaced using
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    __u8 *buf;
+    left0 = 0xffff & *(__u16 *)buf;
+    right0 = 0xffff & *((__u16 *)buf + 1);
+
+**Pixel unpacked representation.**
+Left/Right pixels 16-bit unpacked - 16-bit for each interleaved pixel.
