DXVA High Definition Video Processing - VideoProcessing

This manual test runs test cases across the following: IDXVAHD_VideoProcessor::SetVideoProcessBltState, IDXVAHD_VideoProcessor::GetVideoProcessBltState, IDXVAHD_VideoProcessor::SetVideoProcessStreamState, IDXVAHD_VideoProcessor::GetVideoProcessStreamState, and IDXVAHD_VideoProcessor::VideoProcessBltHD.

For details about all of the test cases, see the “Supporting information” section below. Most test cases present to the screen while a utility post-processes the frames for comparison. Most test cases enforce a > 20.0f PSNR between software and hardware processed frames. For some test cases, the threshold is lowered due to lack of support of some filters and features in the software implementation.

The test will for the most part just show a ticker-like window incrementing pass fail counts and showing which test case variables are being iterated upon.

Test details

Running the test

Before you run the test, complete the test setup as described in the test requirements: Graphic Adapter or Chipset Testing Prerequisites.

In addition, this test requires the following software:

• A display driver that supports D3D9Caps.Caps3 D3DCAPS3_DXVAHD. Specifically:

  • D3D9 support exposing D3DCAPS3_DXVAHD.

  • Required output formats: D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8.

  • Required input formats: D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DFMT_YUY2, D3DFMT_AYUV and any decode render targets supported.

• dxvahdsw.dll.

Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting Device.Graphics Testing.

This test will for the most part just show a ticker-like window incrementing pass fail counts and showing which test case variables are being iterated upon.

The test will return Pass or Fail. The test might return SKIP if the driver does not expose D3DCAPS3_DXVAHD. Other test cases can skip based on stream state support, inverse telecine caps, filter caps, feature caps, and formats supported. To review test details, review the test log from the DTM Studio.

More information

After each SetVideoProcessBltState, call the corresponding GetVideoProcessBltState. The call ensures proper reporting, then processes and presents frames compared to the reference frames for accuracy. Most BltStates are cycled across for each full cycle of a given BltState, then again for each valid StreamState. However, some permutations are not necessary.

• Verify invalid data types passed to SetVideoProcessBltState and GetVideoProcessBltState return E_INVALIDARG.

• DXVAHD_BLT_STATE_TARGET_RECT_DATA

  • Verify Limiting Data to rect smaller than output surface results in correct scaling.

  • Verify a rect larger than the output surface results in an expanded frame.

  • Verify when target rect data is set and Enable flagged as false, that the entire surface is used.

  • Process one frame with target rect data and Enable set to false. Then process another frame with target rect data shrunken, expanded, or moved, and Enable is true. Verify the surface scales or moves accordingly.

  • Verify Default no data set results in entire surface being used.

• DXVAHD_BLT_STATE_BACKGROUND_COLOR_DATA

  • Verify Default is RGB Black.

  • Verify Limiting RGB_Range successfully limits color range to 16..235.

  • Verify BT.709 correctly increases luma and chroma accordingly.

  • xvYCC successfully extends color range. This validation is a special case, because the reference video processor does not support any output surface other than XRGB. Validation of this is difficult, and the process will be documented at a later time.

  • Verify if DXVAHD_VPDEVCAPS.DeviceCaps does not have DXVAHD_DEVICE_CAPS_xvYCC. Validate YCbCr_xvYCC does not adjust any settings, and is truly ignored.

  • Tolerance is flexible initially, but the starting percentage of pixel precision is 90 percent accuracy.

• DXVAHD_BLT_STATE_ALPHA_FILL_DATA

  • Verify that output surfaces not of Alpha format are unchanged.

  • Verify that output surfaces of Alpha format successfully apply alpha values to the color.

  • Verify default Mode adjusts Background Alpha values correctly.

    Test Input Surface of NonAlpha Format with an output surface of Alpha Format. Validate alpha correctness with again flexible precision, initially at 90 percent accuracy.

• DXVAHD_BLT_STATE_CONSTRICTION_DATA

  • Due to lack of support in the Reference driver for the course of M2 constriction, test cases must be validated outside of direct 1:1 comparison for valid down-sampled sizes.

  • Verify correct down-sampling to the output surface.

  • If the size is greater than the target, verify that constriction is limited to the size of the target rect.

  • Attempt to set sizes to 0,* and *, 0 validate return value E_INVALIDARG.

  • If DXVAHD_VPDEVCAPS.FeatureCaps does not expose DXVAHD_FEATURE_CAPS_CONSTRICTION, then verify that error E_INVALIDARG is returned when Constriction is attempted to be set.

• DXVAHD_BLT_STATE_PRIVATE_DATA

  • Pass invalid Guid, DataSize, and pData. Validate that driver handles accordingly.

    • Limited range validation is not possible with a 1:1 comparison with the reference. Some loose validation of whites and blacks may be possible to validate the color range has been limited accordingly.

  • Verify BT.709 correctly increases luma and chroma sampling.

  • xvYCC successfully extends color range.

  • Verify that if DXVAHD_VPDEVCAPS.DeviceCaps does not report support for xvYCC.

  • If possible, and if processing is specified, validate increased color conversion performance.

  • Verify if DXVAHD_VPDEVCAPS.DeviceCaps does not have DXVAHD_DEVICE_CAPS_xvYCC. Validate YCbCr_xvYCC does not adjust any settings, and is truly ignored.
