VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR(3)

# VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR - Video encode tuning mode

## C Specification

Possible video encode tuning mode values are as follows:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_queue
    typedef enum VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR {
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_DEFAULT_KHR = 0,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_HIGH_QUALITY_KHR = 1,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_LOW_LATENCY_KHR = 2,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_ULTRA_LOW_LATENCY_KHR = 3,
        VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_LOSSLESS_KHR = 4,
    } VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR;

## Description

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_DEFAULT_KHR specifies the default tuning mode.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_HIGH_QUALITY_KHR specifies that video encoding is tuned for high quality. When using this tuning mode, the implementation may compromise the latency of video encoding operations to improve quality.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_LOW_LATENCY_KHR specifies that video encoding is tuned for low latency. When using this tuning mode, the implementation may compromise quality to increase the performance and lower the latency of video encode operations.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_ULTRA_LOW_LATENCY_KHR specifies that video encoding is tuned for ultra-low latency. When using this tuning mode, the implementation may compromise quality to maximize the performance and minimize the latency of video encoding operations.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_LOSSLESS_KHR specifies that video encoding is tuned for lossless encoding. When using this tuning mode, video encode operations produce lossless output.
