D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_CBR1_0096 structure (d3d12umddi.h)

The D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_CBR_0080 structure contains the extended rate control definition for constant bitrate (CBR) mode.

Members

InitialQP

When the D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_ENABLE_INITIAL_QP flag is set, InitialQP can be used by the rate control algorithm.

MinQP

When the D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_ENABLE_QP_RANGE flag is set, MinQP limits the quantization parameter (QP) range of the rate control algorithm.

MaxQP

When the D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_ENABLE_QP_RANGE flag is set, MaxQP limits the QP range of the rate control algorithm.

MaxFrameBitSize

Maximum size for each frame to be encoded, in bits. When D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_ENABLE_MAX_FRAME_SIZE is set, MaxFrameBitSize limits each frame's maximum size in the rate control algorithm.

TargetBitRate

The constant bitrate to be used, in bits per second.

VBVCapacity

When D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_1_ENABLE_VBV_SIZES is set, VBVCapacity specifies the capacity, in bits, of the Video Buffer Verifier (VBV) to be used in the rate control algorithm.

InitialVBVFullness

When D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_1_ENABLE_VBV_SIZES is set, InitialVBVFullness specifies the initial fullness, in bits, of the VBV to be used in the rate control algorithm.

QualityVsSpeed

The quality versus speed trade-off. This value must be in the range [0, D3D12_FEATURE_DATA_VIDEO_ENCODER_SUPPORT1.MaxQualityVsSpeed]. The lower the value, the faster the encode operation.

The settings associated to each of the levels exposed by QualityVsSpeed must only refer to hardware/driver implementation optimizations and heuristics that aren't related to specific codec configurations or encoding tools selection, which are already independently exposed in the D3D12 API to the user individually. Please note that other codec configurations and codec encoding tools exposed through this API may also affect quality and speed.

Remarks

See D3D12 AV1 video encoding for more information.
