# VkVideoEncodeRgbModelConversionFlagBitsVALVE(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoEncodeRgbModelConversionFlagBitsVALVE - Color model conversions for encode RGB conversion

## C Specification

The range-compressed values are converted between color models, according to the color model conversion specified in the `rgbModel` member of the VkVideoEncodeSessionRgbConversionCreateInfoVALVE structure.

VkVideoEncodeRgbModelConversionFlagBitsVALVE defines the conversion from the encode input picture's color model to the encode color model.

    // Provided by VK_VALVE_video_encode_rgb_conversion
    typedef enum VkVideoEncodeRgbModelConversionFlagBitsVALVE {
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_RGB_IDENTITY_BIT_VALVE = 0x00000001,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_IDENTITY_BIT_VALVE = 0x00000002,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_709_BIT_VALVE = 0x00000004,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_601_BIT_VALVE = 0x00000008,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_2020_BIT_VALVE = 0x00000010,
    } VkVideoEncodeRgbModelConversionFlagBitsVALVE;

## Description

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_RGB_IDENTITY_BIT_VALVE specifies the color components are not modified by the color model conversion since they are assumed to represent the desired color model for video coding; R′G′B′ range compression is applied to the components.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_IDENTITY_BIT_VALVE specifies the color components are not modified by the color model conversion are assumed to be treated as though in Y′CBCR form; video encode R′G′B′ range compression and video encode R′G′B′ chroma subsampling is also ignored.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_709_BIT_VALVE specifies the color components are transformed from an R′G′B′ representation to a Y′CBCR representation as described in the “BT.709 Y′CBCR conversion” section of the Khronos Data Format Specification.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_601_BIT_VALVE specifies the color components are transformed from an R′G′B′ representation to a Y′CBCR representation as described in the “BT.601 Y′CBCR conversion” section of the Khronos Data Format Specification.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_RGB_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_2020_BIT_VALVE specifies the color components are transformed from an R′G′B′ representation to a Y′CBCR representation as described in the “BT.2020 Y′CBCR conversion” section of the Khronos Data Format Specification.

Note | Video encode R′G′B′ model conversion transformations have the inverse definition of sampler Y′CBCR model conversion transformations.

Note | The video encode R′G′B′ model conversion step does not apply any transfer function, only converting from R′G′B′ to Y′CBCR using the primaries of the specified `rgbModel` color model.
