C Specification
The video format chroma subsampling is defined with the following enums:
// Provided by VK_KHR_video_queue
typedef enum VkVideoChromaSubsamplingFlagBitsKHR {
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_INVALID_KHR = 0,
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_MONOCHROME_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_420_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_422_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_444_BIT_KHR = 0x00000008,
} VkVideoChromaSubsamplingFlagBitsKHR;
Description
-
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_MONOCHROME_BIT_KHR
specifies that the format is monochrome. -
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_420_BIT_KHR
specified that the format is 4:2:0 chroma subsampled, i.e. the two chroma components are sampled horizontally and vertically at half the sample rate of the luma component. -
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_422_BIT_KHR
- the format is 4:2:2 chroma subsampled, i.e. the two chroma components are sampled horizontally at half the sample rate of luma component. -
VK_VIDEO_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_444_BIT_KHR
- the format is 4:4:4 chroma sampled, i.e. all three components of the Y′CBCR format are sampled at the same rate, thus there is no chroma subsampling.
