VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR(3)

# VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR - Structure specifying quantization map information to use for video encode operations

## C Specification

The `VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR` structure can be included in the `pNext` chain of the VkVideoEncodeInfoKHR structure passed to the vkCmdEncodeVideoKHR command to specify the quantization map used by the issued video encode operations.

The `VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_quantization_map
    typedef struct VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkImageView        quantizationMap;
        VkExtent2D         quantizationMapExtent;
    } VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `quantizationMap` specifies the image view to use as the quantization map.

- `quantizationMapExtent` specifies the extent of the image subregion of `quantizationMap` to use as the quantization map starting at offset (0,0).

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR-quantizationMapExtent-10352
  `quantizationMapExtent.width` must be less than or equal to the width of `quantizationMap`

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR-quantizationMapExtent-10353
  `quantizationMapExtent.height` must be less than or equal to the height of `quantizationMap`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_ENCODE_QUANTIZATION_MAP_INFO_KHR

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeQuantizationMapInfoKHR-quantizationMap-parameter
  If `quantizationMap` is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, `quantizationMap` must be a valid VkImageView handle
