C Specification

Additional information about the video encode use case can be provided by adding a VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR structure to the pNext chain of VkVideoProfileInfoKHR.

The VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_queue
typedef struct VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR {
    VkStructureType                 sType;
    const void*                     pNext;
    VkVideoEncodeUsageFlagsKHR      videoUsageHints;
    VkVideoEncodeContentFlagsKHR    videoContentHints;
    VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR      tuningMode;
} VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • videoUsageHints is a bitmask of VkVideoEncodeUsageFlagBitsKHR specifying hints about the intended use of the video encode profile.

  • videoContentHints is a bitmask of VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR specifying hints about the content to be encoded using the video encode profile.

  • tuningMode is a VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR value specifying the tuning mode to use when encoding with the video profile.
