VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR(3)

# VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR - Structure specifying used video encode quality level

## C Specification

The `VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_queue
    typedef struct VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        uint32_t           qualityLevel;
    } VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `qualityLevel` is the used video encode quality level.

## Description

This structure can be specified in the following places:

- In the `pNext` chain of VkVideoSessionParametersCreateInfoKHR to specify the video encode quality level to use for a video session parameters object created for a video encode session. If no instance of this structure is included in the `pNext` chain of VkVideoSessionParametersCreateInfoKHR, then the video session parameters object is created with a video encode quality level of zero.

- In the `pNext` chain of VkVideoCodingControlInfoKHR to change the video encode quality level state of the bound video session.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-qualityLevel-08311
  `qualityLevel` must be less than VkVideoEncodeCapabilitiesKHR::`maxQualityLevels`, as returned by vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR for the used video profile

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_ENCODE_QUALITY_LEVEL_INFO_KHR
