# VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR - Video encode content flags

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The following bits can be specified in VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR::`videoContentHints` as a hint about the encoded video content:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_queue
    typedef enum VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR {
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_DEFAULT_KHR = 0,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_CAMERA_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_DESKTOP_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_RENDERED_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
    } VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR;

## Description

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_CAMERA_BIT_KHR specifies that video encoding is intended to be used to encode camera content.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_DESKTOP_BIT_KHR specifies that video encoding is intended to be used to encode desktop content.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_CONTENT_RENDERED_BIT_KHR specified that video encoding is intended to be used to encode rendered (e.g. game) content.

Note | There are no restrictions on the combination of bits that can be specified by the application. However, applications should use reasonable combinations in order for the implementation to be able to select the most appropriate mode of operation for the particular content type.
