VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo

Structure specifying the parameters of the newly created conversion

The VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkFormat format;
    VkSamplerYcbcrModelConversion ycbcrModel;
    VkSamplerYcbcrRange ycbcrRange;
    VkComponentMapping components;
    VkChromaLocation xChromaOffset;
    VkChromaLocation yChromaOffset;
    VkFilter chromaFilter;
    VkBool32 forceExplicitReconstruction;
} VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo;

or the equivalent

typedef VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfoKHR;
  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • format is the format of the image from which color information will be retrieved.
  • ycbcrModel describes the color matrix for conversion between color models.
  • ycbcrRange describes whether the encoded values have headroom and foot room, or whether the encoding uses the full numerical range.
  • components applies a swizzle based on VkComponentSwizzle enums prior to range expansion and color model conversion.
  • xChromaOffset describes the sample location associated with downsampled chroma components in the x dimension. xChromaOffset has no effect for formats in which chroma components are not downsampled horizontally.
  • yChromaOffset describes the sample location associated with downsampled chroma components in the y dimension. yChromaOffset has no effect for formats in which the chroma components are not downsampled vertically.
  • chromaFilter is the filter for chroma reconstruction.
  • forceExplicitReconstruction can be used to ensure that reconstruction is done explicitly, if supported.

Setting forceExplicitReconstruction to VK_TRUE may have a performance penalty on implementations where explicit reconstruction is not the default mode of operation.

If format supports VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_BIT the forceExplicitReconstruction value behaves as if it were VK_TRUE.

If the pNext chain includes a VkExternalFormatANDROID structure with non-zero externalFormat member, the sampler Y′CBCR conversion object represents an external format conversion, and format must be VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED. Such conversions must only be used to sample image views with a matching external format. When creating an external format conversion, the value of components is ignored.

VUID-VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo-ycbcrModel-01655

If ycbcrModel is not VK_SAMPLER_YCBCR_MODEL_CONVERSION_RGB_IDENTITY, then components.r, components.g, and components.b must correspond to components of the format; that is, components.r, components.g, and components.b must not be VK_COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_ZERO or VK_COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_ONE, and must not correspond to a component containing zero or one as a consequence of conversion to RGBA

VUID-VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo-ycbcrRange-02748

VUID-VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo-pNext-09207
