VkVideoEncodeRateControlModeFlagBitsKHR(3)
C Specification
The rate control modes are defined with the following enums:
// Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_queue
typedef enum VkVideoEncodeRateControlModeFlagBitsKHR {
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_DEFAULT_KHR = 0,
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_DISABLED_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_CBR_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_VBR_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
} VkVideoEncodeRateControlModeFlagBitsKHR;Description
-
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_DEFAULT_KHR specifies the use of implementation-specific rate control.
-
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_DISABLED_BIT_KHR specifies that rate control is disabled and the application will specify per-operation rate control parameters controlling the encoding quality. In this mode implementations will encode pictures independently of the output bitrate of prior video encode operations.
-
When using an H.264 encode profile, implementations will use the QP value specified in VkVideoEncodeH264NaluSliceInfoKHR::
constantQpto control the quality of the encoded picture. -
When using an H.265 encode profile, implementations will use the QP value specified in VkVideoEncodeH265NaluSliceSegmentInfoKHR::
constantQpto control the quality of the encoded picture. -
When using an AV1 encode profile, implementations will use the quantizer index value specified in VkVideoEncodeAV1PictureInfoKHR::
constantQIndexto control the quality of the encoded picture.
-
-
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_CBR_BIT_KHR specifies the use of constant bitrate (CBR) rate control mode. In this mode the implementation will attempt to produce the encoded bitstream at a constant bitrate while conforming to the constraints of other rate control parameters.
-
VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_MODE_VBR_BIT_KHR specifies the use of variable bitrate (VBR) rate control mode. In this mode the implementation will produce the encoded bitstream at a variable bitrate according to the constraints of other rate control parameters.
