mfxI16 QIndexDeltaLumaDC

Specifies an offset for a particular quantization parameter.

mfxI16 QIndexDeltaChromaAC

mfxU16 NumTileRows

Number of tile rows. Should be power of two. The maximum number of tile rows is 4, per the VP9 specification. In addition, the maximum supported number of tile rows may depend on the underlying library implementation.

Use the Query API function to check if a particular pair of values (NumTileRows, NumTileColumns) is supported. In VP9, tile rows have dependencies and cannot be encoded or decoded in parallel. Therefore, tile rows are always encoded by the library in serial mode (one-by-one).

mfxU16 NumTileColumns

Number of tile columns. Should be power of two. Restricted with maximum and minimum tile width in luma pixels, as defined in the VP9 specification (4096 and 256 respectively). In addition, the maximum supported number of tile columns may depend on the underlying library implementation.

Use the Query API function to check if a particular pair of values (NumTileRows, NumTileColumns) is supported. In VP9, tile columns do not have dependencies and can be encoded/decoded in parallel. Therefore, tile columns can be encoded by the library in both parallel and serial modes.

Parallel mode is automatically utilized by the library when NumTileColumns exceeds 1 and does not exceed the number of tile coding engines on the platform. In other cases, serial mode is used. Parallel mode is capable of encoding more than 1 tile row (within limitations provided by VP9 specification and particular platform). Serial mode supports only tile grids 1xN and Nx1.

mfxU16 GopPicSize

Number of pictures within the current GOP (Group of Pictures); if GopPicSize = 0, then the GOP size is unspecified. If GopPicSize = 1, only I-frames are used. The following pseudo-code that shows how the library uses this parameter:

mfxU16 get_gop_sequence (...) {
   pos=display_frame_order;
   if (pos == 0)
       return MFX_FRAMETYPE_I | MFX_FRAMETYPE_IDR | MFX_FRAMETYPE_REF;

   If (GopPicSize == 1) // Only I-frames
       return MFX_FRAMETYPE_I | MFX_FRAMETYPE_REF;

   if (GopPicSize == 0)
               frameInGOP = pos;    //Unlimited GOP
           else
               frameInGOP = pos%GopPicSize;

   if (frameInGOP == 0)
       return MFX_FRAMETYPE_I | MFX_FRAMETYPE_REF;

   if (GopRefDist == 1 || GopRefDist == 0)    // Only I,P frames
               return MFX_FRAMETYPE_P | MFX_FRAMETYPE_REF;

   frameInPattern = (frameInGOP-1)%GopRefDist;
   if (frameInPattern == GopRefDist - 1)
       return MFX_FRAMETYPE_P | MFX_FRAMETYPE_REF;

   return MFX_FRAMETYPE_B;
 }

mfxU16 GopRefDist

Distance between I- or P (or GPB) - key frames; if it is zero, the GOP structure is unspecified. Note: If GopRefDist = 1, there are no regular B-frames used (only P or GPB); if mfxExtCodingOption3::GPB is ON, GPB frames (B without backward references) are used instead of P.

mfxU16 GopOptFlag

ORs of the GopOptFlag enumerator indicate the additional flags for the GOP specification.

mfxU16 IdrInterval

For H.264, specifies IDR-frame interval in terms of I-frames. For example:

• If IdrInterval = 0, then every I-frame is an IDR-frame.

• If IdrInterval = 1, then every other I-frame is an IDR-frame.

For HEVC, if IdrInterval = 0, then only first I-frame is an IDR-frame. For example:

• If IdrInterval = 1, then every I-frame is an IDR-frame.

• If IdrInterval = 2, then every other I-frame is an IDR-frame.

For MPEG2, IdrInterval defines sequence header interval in terms of I-frames. For example:

• If IdrInterval = 0 (default), then the sequence header is inserted once at the beginning of the stream.

• If IdrInterval = N, then the sequence header is inserted before every Nth I-frame.

If GopPicSize or GopRefDist is zero, IdrInterval is undefined.

mfxU16 InitialDelayInKB

Note

In this context, KB is 1000 bytes and Kbps is 1000 bps.

mfxU16 QPI

Quantization Parameter (QP) for I-frames for constant QP mode (CQP). Zero QP is not valid and means that the default value is assigned by the library. Non-zero QPI might be clipped to supported QPI range.

Note

Default QPI value is implementation dependent and subject to change without additional notice in this document.

mfxU16 Accuracy

Specifies accuracy range in the unit of tenth of percent.

mfxU16 BufferSizeInKB

Represents the maximum possible size of any compressed frames.

mfxU16 TargetKbps

Constant bitrate TargetKbps. Used to estimate the targeted frame size by dividing the frame rate by the bitrate.

mfxU16 QPP

Quantization Parameter (QP) for P-frames for constant QP mode (CQP). Zero QP is not valid and means that the default value is assigned by the library. Non-zero QPP might be clipped to supported QPI range.

Note

Default QPP value is implementation dependent and subject to change without additional notice in this document.

mfxU16 ICQQuality

Used by the Intelligent Constant Quality (ICQ) bitrate control algorithm. Values are in the 1 to 51 range, where 1 corresponds the best quality.

mfxU16 MaxKbps

The maximum bitrate at which the encoded data enters the Video Buffering Verifier (VBV) buffer.

mfxU16 QPB

Quantization Parameter (QP) for B-frames for constant QP mode (CQP). Zero QP is not valid and means that the default value is assigned by the library. Non-zero QPI might be clipped to supported QPB range.

Note

Default QPB value is implementation dependent and subject to change without additional notice in this document.

mfxU16 Convergence

Convergence period in the unit of 100 frames.

mfxU16 NumSlice

Number of slices in each video frame. Each slice contains one or more macro-block rows. If NumSlice equals zero, the encoder may choose any slice partitioning allowed by the codec standard. See also mfxExtCodingOption2::NumMbPerSlice.

mfxU16 NumRefFrame

Max number of all available reference frames (for AVC/HEVC, NumRefFrame defines DPB size). If NumRefFrame = 0, this parameter is not specified. See also NumRefActiveP, NumRefActiveBL0, and NumRefActiveBL1 in the mfxExtCodingOption3 structure, which set a number of active references.

mfxU16 EncodedOrder

If not zero, specifies that ENCODE takes the input surfaces in the encoded order and uses explicit frame type control. The application must still provide GopRefDist and mfxExtCodingOption2::BRefType so the library can pack headers and build reference lists correctly.

mfxU16 DecodedOrder

For AVC and HEVC, used to instruct the decoder to return output frames in the decoded order. Must be zero for all other decoders. When enabled, correctness of mfxFrameData::TimeStamp and FrameOrder for output surface is not guaranteed, the application should ignore them.

mfxU16 ExtendedPicStruct

Instructs DECODE to output extended picture structure values for additional display attributes. See the PicStruct description for details.

mfxU16 TimeStampCalc

Time stamp calculation method. See the TimeStampCalc description for details.

mfxU16 SliceGroupsPresent

Nonzero value indicates that slice groups are present in the bitstream. Used only by AVC decoder.

mfxU16 MaxDecFrameBuffering

Nonzero value specifies the maximum required size of the decoded picture buffer in frames for AVC and HEVC decoders.

mfxU16 EnableReallocRequest

For decoders supporting dynamic resolution change (VP9), set this option to ON to allow MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync return MFX_ERR_REALLOC_SURFACE. See the CodingOptionValue enumerator for values of this option. Use the Query API function to check if this feature is supported.

mfxU16 FilmGrain

Special parameter for AV1 decoder. Indicates presence/absence of film grain parameters in bitstream. Also controls decoding behavior for streams with film grain parameters. MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader returns nonzero FilmGrain for streams with film grain parameters and zero for streams w/o them. Decoding with film grain requires additional output surfaces. If FilmGrain` is non-zero then MFXVideoDECODE_QueryIOSurf will request more surfaces in case of external allocated video memory at decoder output. FilmGrain is passed to MFXVideoDECODE_Init function to control decoding operation for AV1 streams with film grain parameters. If FilmGrain is nonzero decoding of each frame require two output surfaces (one for reconstructed frame and one for output frame with film grain applied). The decoder returns MFX_ERR_MORE_SURFACE from MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync if it has insufficient output surfaces to decode frame. Application can forcibly disable the feature passing zero value of FilmGrain to MFXVideoDECODE_Init. In this case the decoder will output reconstructed frames w/o film grain applied. Application can retrieve film grain parameters for a frame by attaching extended buffer mfxExtAV1FilmGrainParam to mfxFrameSurface1. If stream has no film grain parameters FilmGrain passed to MFXVideoDECODE_Init is ignored by the decoder.

mfxU16 IgnoreLevelConstrain

If not zero, it forces SDK to attempt to decode bitstream even if a decoder may not support all features associated with given CodecLevel. Decoder may produce visual artifacts. Only AVC decoder supports this field.

mfxU16 SkipOutput

This flag is used to disable output of main decoding channel. When it’s ON SkipOutput = MFX_CODINGOPTION_ON decoder outputs only video processed channels. For pure decode this flag should be always disabled.

mfxU16 JPEGChromaFormat

Specify the chroma sampling format that has been used to encode a JPEG picture. See the ChromaFormat enumerator for details.

mfxU16 Rotation

Rotation option of the output JPEG picture. See the Rotation enumerator for details.

mfxU16 JPEGColorFormat

Specify the color format that has been used to encode a JPEG picture. See the JPEGColorFormat enumerator for details.

mfxU16 InterleavedDec

Specify JPEG scan type for decoder. See the JPEGScanType enumerator for details.

mfxU8 SamplingFactorH[4]

Horizontal sampling factor.

mfxU8 SamplingFactorV[4]

Vertical sampling factor.

mfxU16 Interleaved

Specify interleaved or non-interleaved scans. If it is equal to MFX_SCANTYPE_INTERLEAVED then the image is encoded as interleaved, all components are encoded in one scan. See the JPEG Scan Type enumerator for details.

mfxU16 Quality

Specifies the image quality if the application does not specified quantization table. The value is from 1 to 100 inclusive. “100” is the best quality.

mfxU16 RestartInterval

Specifies the number of MCU in the restart interval. “0” means no restart interval.

Note

The mfxInfoMFX::InitialDelayInKB, mfxInfoMFX::TargetKbps, mfxInfoMFX::MaxKbps parameters are used by the constant bitrate (CBR), variable bitrate control (VBR), and CQP HRD algorithms.

Encoders follow the Hypothetical Reference Decoding (HRD) model. The HRD model assumes that data flows into a buffer of the fixed size BufferSizeInKB with a constant bitrate of TargetKbps. (Estimate the targeted frame size by dividing frame rate by bitrate.)

The decoder starts decoding after the buffer reaches the initial size InitialDelayInKB, which is equivalent to reaching an initial delay of InitialDelayInKB*8000/TargetKbpsms. In this context, KB is 1000 bytes and Kbps is 1000 bps.

If InitialDelayInKB or BufferSizeInKB is equal to zero, the value is calculated using bitrate, frame rate, profile, level, and so on.

TargetKbps must be specified for encoding initialization.

For variable bitrate control, the MaxKbps parameter specifies the maximum bitrate at which the encoded data enters the Video Buffering Verifier (VBV) buffer. If MaxKbps is equal to zero, the value is calculated from bitrate, frame rate, profile, and level.

Note

The mfxInfoMFX::TargetKbps, mfxInfoMFX::Accuracy, mfxInfoMFX::Convergence parameters are used by the average variable bitrate control (AVBR) algorithm. The algorithm focuses on overall encoding quality while meeting the specified bitrate, TargetKbps, within the accuracy range, Accuracy, after a Convergence period. This method does not follow HRD and the instant bitrate is not capped or padded.
