## Name

VkVideoFormatH265QuantizationMapPropertiesKHR - Structure describing H.265 quantization map properties

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

When calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR, the `VkVideoFormatH265QuantizationMapPropertiesKHR` structure can be included in the `pNext` chain of the VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR structure to retrieve video format properties specific to video encode quantization maps used with an H.265 encode profile.

The `VkVideoFormatH265QuantizationMapPropertiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_h265 with VK_KHR_video_encode_quantization_map
    typedef struct VkVideoFormatH265QuantizationMapPropertiesKHR {
        VkStructureType                     sType;
        void*                               pNext;
        VkVideoEncodeH265CtbSizeFlagsKHR    compatibleCtbSizes;
    } VkVideoFormatH265QuantizationMapPropertiesKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `compatibleCtbSizes` is a bitmask of VkVideoEncodeH265CtbSizeFlagBitsKHR indicating the CTB sizes that quantization maps using this video format are compatible with.

  Note | The value of `compatibleCtbSizes` does not limit the use of the specific quantization map format, but does limit the implementation in being able to encode pictures with CTB sizes not included in `compatibleCtbSizes` but otherwise supported by the used video profile, as indicated by VkVideoEncodeH265CapabilitiesKHR::`ctbSizes`. In particular, using smaller quantization map texel sizes may prevent implementations from encoding with larger CTB sizes which may have a negative impact on the efficiency of the encoder.

## Description

The values returned in this structure are only defined if the allowed image usage flags returned in VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR::`imageUsageFlags` for this video format include `VK_IMAGE_USAGE_VIDEO_ENCODE_QUANTIZATION_DELTA_MAP_BIT_KHR` or `VK_IMAGE_USAGE_VIDEO_ENCODE_EMPHASIS_MAP_BIT_KHR`.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoFormatH265QuantizationMapPropertiesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_FORMAT_H265_QUANTIZATION_MAP_PROPERTIES_KHR`
