## Name

VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR - Structure specifies AV1 encoder parameter set information

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

When a video session parameters object is created with the codec operation VK_VIDEO_CODEC_OPERATION_ENCODE_AV1_BIT_KHR, the VkVideoSessionParametersCreateInfoKHR::`pNext` chain must include a `VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR` structure specifying the contents of the object.

The `VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_av1
    typedef struct VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType                               sType;
        const void*                                   pNext;
        const StdVideoAV1SequenceHeader*              pStdSequenceHeader;
        const StdVideoEncodeAV1DecoderModelInfo*      pStdDecoderModelInfo;
        uint32_t                                      stdOperatingPointCount;
        const StdVideoEncodeAV1OperatingPointInfo*    pStdOperatingPoints;
    } VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `pStdSequenceHeader` is a pointer to a `StdVideoAV1SequenceHeader` structure describing parameters of the AV1 sequence header entry to store in the created object.

- `pStdDecoderModelInfo` is `NULL` or a pointer to a `StdVideoEncodeAV1DecoderModelInfo` structure specifying the AV1 decoder model information to store in the created object.

- `stdOperatingPointCount` is the number of elements in the `pStdOperatingPoints` array.

- `pStdOperatingPoints` is `NULL` or a pointer to an array of `stdOperatingPointCount` number of `StdVideoEncodeAV1OperatingPointInfo` structures specifying the AV1 operating point information to store in the created object. Each element i specifies the parameter values corresponding to element i of the syntax elements defined in section 6.4 of the AV1 Specification.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR-pStdSequenceHeader-10288
  `pStdSequenceHeader->flags.film_grain_params_present` must be zero

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_ENCODE_AV1_SESSION_PARAMETERS_CREATE_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR-pStdSequenceHeader-parameter
  `pStdSequenceHeader` must be a valid pointer to a valid `StdVideoAV1SequenceHeader` value

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR-pStdDecoderModelInfo-parameter
  If `pStdDecoderModelInfo` is not `NULL`, `pStdDecoderModelInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid `StdVideoEncodeAV1DecoderModelInfo` value

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeAV1SessionParametersCreateInfoKHR-pStdOperatingPoints-parameter
  If `stdOperatingPointCount` is not `0`, and `pStdOperatingPoints` is not `NULL`, `pStdOperatingPoints` must be a valid pointer to an array of `stdOperatingPointCount` `StdVideoEncodeAV1OperatingPointInfo` values
