# VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR - Structure describing the video encode profile and quality level to query properties for

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

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

## Members

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

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

- `pVideoProfile` is a pointer to a VkVideoProfileInfoKHR structure specifying the video profile to query the video encode quality level properties for.

- `qualityLevel` is the video encode quality level to query properties for.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-pVideoProfile-08259
  `pVideoProfile` must be a supported video profile

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-pVideoProfile-08260
  `pVideoProfile->videoCodecOperation` must specify an encode operation

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-qualityLevel-08261
  `qualityLevel` must be less than VkVideoEncodeCapabilitiesKHR::`maxQualityLevels`, as returned by vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR for the video profile specified in `pVideoProfile`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VIDEO_ENCODE_QUALITY_LEVEL_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceVideoEncodeQualityLevelInfoKHR-pVideoProfile-parameter
  `pVideoProfile` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkVideoProfileInfoKHR structure
