VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR(3)

# VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR - Structure specifying video coding control parameters

## C Specification

The `VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_queue
    typedef struct VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType                 sType;
        const void*                     pNext;
        VkVideoCodingControlFlagsKHR    flags;
    } VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkVideoCodingControlFlagsKHR specifying control flags.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-flags-07018
  If `flags` includes VK_VIDEO_CODING_CONTROL_ENCODE_RATE_CONTROL_BIT_KHR, then the `pNext` chain must include a VkVideoEncodeRateControlInfoKHR structure

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-flags-08349
  If `flags` includes VK_VIDEO_CODING_CONTROL_ENCODE_QUALITY_LEVEL_BIT_KHR, then the `pNext` chain must include a VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR structure

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_CODING_CONTROL_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkVideoEncodeAV1RateControlInfoKHR, VkVideoEncodeH264RateControlInfoKHR, VkVideoEncodeH265RateControlInfoKHR, VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR, or VkVideoEncodeRateControlInfoKHR

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-sType-unique
  The `sType` value of each structure in the `pNext` chain must be unique

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-flags-parameter
  `flags` must be a valid combination of VkVideoCodingControlFlagBitsKHR values

- VUID-VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR-flags-requiredbitmask
  `flags` must not be `0`
