C Specification

The VkVideoProfileInfoKHR structure is defined as follows:

// Provided by VK_KHR_video_queue
typedef struct VkVideoProfileInfoKHR {
    VkStructureType                     sType;
    const void*                         pNext;
    VkVideoCodecOperationFlagBitsKHR    videoCodecOperation;
    VkVideoChromaSubsamplingFlagsKHR    chromaSubsampling;
    VkVideoComponentBitDepthFlagsKHR    lumaBitDepth;
    VkVideoComponentBitDepthFlagsKHR    chromaBitDepth;
} VkVideoProfileInfoKHR;

Description

Video profiles are provided as input to video capability queries such as vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR or vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR, as well as when creating resources to be used by video coding operations such as images, buffers, query pools, and video sessions.

The full description of a video profile is specified by an instance of this structure, and the codec-specific and auxiliary structures provided in its pNext chain.

When this structure is specified as an input parameter to vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR, or through the pProfiles member of a VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR structure in the pNext chain of the input parameter of a query command such as vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR or vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2, the following error codes indicate specific causes of the failure of the query operation:
