# VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR - Structure describing H.265 decode capabilities

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

When calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR to query the capabilities for an H.265 decode profile, the VkVideoCapabilitiesKHR::`pNext` chain must include a `VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR` structure that will be filled with the profile-specific capabilities.

The `VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_decode_h265
    typedef struct VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR {
        VkStructureType         sType;
        void*                   pNext;
        StdVideoH265LevelIdc    maxLevelIdc;
    } VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `maxLevelIdc` is a `StdVideoH265LevelIdc` value indicating the maximum H.265 level supported by the profile, where enum constant `STD_VIDEO_H265_LEVEL_IDC_<major>_<minor>` identifies H.265 level `<major>.<minor>` as defined in section A.4 of the ITU-T H.265 Specification.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoDecodeH265CapabilitiesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_DECODE_H265_CAPABILITIES_KHR`
