VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR(3)

# VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR - Structure describing quantization map properties

## C Specification

When calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR, the VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR structure can be included in the `pNext` chain of the VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR structure to retrieve video format properties specific to video encode quantization maps.

The `VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_quantization_map
    typedef struct VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkExtent2D         quantizationMapTexelSize;
    } VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `quantizationMapTexelSize` indicates the quantization map texel size of the video format, i.e. the number of pixels corresponding to each quantization map texel.

## 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.

Implementations may support multiple quantization map texel sizes for a particular video format which is indicated by vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR returning multiple entries with different `quantizationMapTexelSize` values.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoFormatQuantizationMapPropertiesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_FORMAT_QUANTIZATION_MAP_PROPERTIES_KHR
