## Name

VkVideoDecodeH264CapabilitiesKHR - Structure describing H.264 decode capabilities

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

When calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR to query the capabilities for an H.264 decode profile, the VkVideoCapabilitiesKHR::`pNext` chain must include a `VkVideoDecodeH264CapabilitiesKHR` structure that will be filled with the profile-specific capabilities.

The `VkVideoDecodeH264CapabilitiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_decode_h264
    typedef struct VkVideoDecodeH264CapabilitiesKHR {
        VkStructureType         sType;
        void*                   pNext;
        StdVideoH264LevelIdc    maxLevelIdc;
        VkOffset2D              fieldOffsetGranularity;
    } VkVideoDecodeH264CapabilitiesKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `maxLevelIdc` is a `StdVideoH264LevelIdc` value indicating the maximum H.264 level supported by the profile, where enum constant `STD_VIDEO_H264_LEVEL_IDC_<major>_<minor>` identifies H.264 level `<major>.<minor>` as defined in section A.3 of the ITU-T H.264 Specification.

- `fieldOffsetGranularity` is the minimum alignment for VkVideoPictureResourceInfoKHR::`codedOffset` specified for a video picture resource when using the picture layout VK_VIDEO_DECODE_H264_PICTURE_LAYOUT_INTERLACED_SEPARATE_PLANES_BIT_KHR.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoDecodeH264CapabilitiesKHR-sType-sType
