C Specification

The VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_KHR_video_queue
typedef struct VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR {
    VkStructureType                       sType;
    const void*                           pNext;
    VkVideoBeginCodingFlagsKHR            flags;
    VkVideoCodingQualityPresetFlagsKHR    codecQualityPreset;
    VkVideoSessionKHR                     videoSession;
    VkVideoSessionParametersKHR           videoSessionParameters;
    uint32_t                              referenceSlotCount;
    const VkVideoReferenceSlotKHR*        pReferenceSlots;
} VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

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

  • flags is reserved for future use.

  • codecQualityPreset is a bitmask of VkVideoCodingQualityPresetFlagBitsKHR specifying the Video Decode or Encode quality preset.

  • videoSession is the video session object to be bound for the processing of the video commands.

  • videoSessionParameters is VK_NULL_HANDLE or a handle of a VkVideoSessionParametersKHR object to be used for the processing of the video commands. If VK_NULL_HANDLE, then no video session parameters apply to this command buffer context.

  • referenceSlotCount is the number of reference slot entries provided in pReferenceSlots.

  • pReferenceSlots is a pointer to an array of VkVideoReferenceSlotKHR structures specifying reference slots, used within the video command context between this vkCmdBeginVideoCodingKHR command and the vkCmdEndVideoCodingKHR commmand that follows. Each reference slot provides a slot index and the VkVideoPictureResourceKHR specifying the reference picture resource bound to this slot index. A slot index must not appear more than once in pReferenceSlots in a given command.

Description

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-referenceSlotCount-04856
    VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR::referenceSlotCount must not exceed the value specified in VkVideoSessionCreateInfoKHR::maxReferencePicturesSlotsCount when creating the video session object that is being provided in videoSession

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-videoSessionParameters-04857
    If videoSessionParameters is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, it must have been created using videoSession as a parent object

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_BEGIN_CODING_INFO_KHR

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
    pNext must be NULL

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-flags-zerobitmask
    flags must be 0

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-codecQualityPreset-parameter
    codecQualityPreset must be a valid combination of VkVideoCodingQualityPresetFlagBitsKHR values

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-codecQualityPreset-requiredbitmask
    codecQualityPreset must not be 0

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-videoSession-parameter
    videoSession must be a valid VkVideoSessionKHR handle

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-videoSessionParameters-parameter
    If videoSessionParameters is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, videoSessionParameters must be a valid VkVideoSessionParametersKHR handle

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-pReferenceSlots-parameter
    If referenceSlotCount is not 0, pReferenceSlots must be a valid pointer to an array of referenceSlotCount valid VkVideoReferenceSlotKHR structures

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-videoSessionParameters-parent
    If videoSessionParameters is a valid handle, it must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from videoSession

  • VUID-VkVideoBeginCodingInfoKHR-commonparent
    Both of videoSession, and videoSessionParameters that are valid handles of non-ignored parameters must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice
