Members

Flags

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_PICTURE_CONTROL_0095_FLAGS enumeration that specifies the flags for the frame to be encoded.

FrameType

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_FRAME_TYPE_0095 enumeration that specifies the frame type being encoded.

CompoundPredictionType

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_COMP_PREDICTION_TYPE_0095 enumeration that specifies the compound prediction type to be used. Related to AV1 syntax reference_select.

InterpolationFilter

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_INTERPOLATION_FILTERS_0095 enumeration that specifies the interpolation filter to be used for inter prediction on the current frame. Related to syntax interpolation_filter.

FrameRestorationConfig

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_RESTORATION_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the frame restoration configuration to be used.

TxMode

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_TX_MODE_0095 enumeration that specifies the transform mode to be used.

SuperResDenominator

Indicates the configuration for super resolution. Has to be greater than or equal to D3D12_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_SUPERRES_DENOM_MIN (as defined by the AV1 codec standard) when super resolution is enabled.

OrderHint

Current frame order_hint AV1 syntax. OrderHint must be always passed even when not coding the order hint in the AV1 bitstream, and it must reflect the display order of the frame.

PictureIndex

The unique picture index for this frame that will be used to uniquely identify it as a reference for future frames. This parameter is not related in any way to the AV1 standard syntax, but merely used for D3D API client implementation tracking instead.

The API Client should initialize this value at 0 for the first D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_FRAME_TYPE_0095_KEY_FRAME and increment it by one on each subsequent frame until the next D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_FRAME_TYPE_0095_KEY_FRAME, when it should be reset to zero and follow the same process.

OrderHint can't be used for this purpose as it has a max range of [0..2^(OrderHintBitsMinus1+1)], which can wrap around and not work as a unique identifier of the frames and their references.

TemporalLayerIndexPlus1

Picture temporal layer index plus one. A value of zero indicates temporal scalability not used. This value must be within the range [0..D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_CODEC_CONFIGURATION_SUPPORT_0095.MaxTemporalLayers].

SpatialLayerIndexPlus1

Picture spatial layer index plus one. A value of zero indicates spatial scalability isn't used. This value must be within the range [0..D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_CODEC_CONFIGURATION_SUPPORT_0095.MaxSpatialLayers].

ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[8]

An array of D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_REFERENCE_PICTURE_DESCRIPTOR_0095 structures that describes the current state snapshot of the complete (ie. including frames that are not used by current frame but used by future frames, etc) DPB buffer kept in D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_PICTURE_CONTROL_DESC_0082_0.ReferenceFrames. The reference indices (ie. last, altref, etc) map from past/future references into this descriptors array. The AV1 codec allows up to 8 references in the DPB.

This array of descriptors, in turn, maps a reference picture for this frame into a resource index in the reconstructed pictures array D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_PICTURE_CONTROL_DESC_0082_0.ReferenceFrames.

The size of this array always matches D3D12_VIDEO_ENCODER_PICTURE_CONTROL_DESC.ReferenceFrames.NumTextures for the associated EncodeFrame command.

ReferenceIndices[7]

Corresponds to the ref_frame_idx[i] AV1 syntax. For a reference type i, ReferenceIndices[i] indicates an index between [0..7] into ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors where the current frame i-th reference type is stored in the DPB. In other words ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[ReferenceIndices[i]] contains the DPB descriptor for the i-th reference type.

The i-th entry of ReferenceIndices[] corresponds to each reference type as follows.

Index i Reference type ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[ReferenceIndices[i]]
0 Last DPB Descriptor for Last
1 Last2 DPB Descriptor for Last2
2 Last3 DPB Descriptor for Last3
3 Golden DPB Descriptor for Golden
4 Bwdref DPB Descriptor for Bwdref
5 Altref DPB Descriptor for Altref
6 Altref2 DPB Descriptor for Altref2

PrimaryRefFrame

Corresponds to the AV1 element syntax primary_ref_frame in uncompressed_header(). Specifies which reference frame contains the CDF values and other state that must be loaded at the start of the frame. The allowed range is [0..7] and the values corresponds as follows:

PrimaryRefFrame value AV1 syntax value (primary_ref_frame) Reference frame selected
0 0 Last
1 1 Last2
2 2 Last3
3 3 Golden
4 4 Bwdref
5 5 Altref
6 6 Altref2
7 7 (PRIMARY_REF_NONE) None

RefreshFrameFlags

Corresponds to the refresh_frame_flags AV1 syntax element.

LoopFilter

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_CODEC_AV1_LOOP_FILTER_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the loop filter parameters to be used.

LoopFilterDelta

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_CODEC_AV1_LOOP_FILTER_DELTA_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the loop filter delta parameters to be used.

Quantization

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_CODEC_AV1_QUANTIZATION_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the quantization parameters to be used.

QuantizationDelta

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_CODEC_AV1_QUANTIZATION_DELTA_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the quantization delta parameters to be used.

CDEF

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_CDEF_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the constrained directional enhancement filtering (CDEF) parameters to be used.

QPMapValuesCount

Contains the number of elements present in pRateControlQPMap. This value must match the number of coding blocks in the frame, rounding up the frame resolution to the closest aligned values.

pRateControlQPMap

Array containing, in row/column scan order, the QP map values to use on each squared region for this frame. The QP map dimensions can be calculated using the current resolution and D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_RESOLUTION_SUPPORT_LIMITS_0080_2.QPMapRegionPixelsSize conveying the squared region sizes. The range for Delta QP values is [-255;255].

CustomSegmentation

A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_SEGMENTATION_CONFIG_0095 structure that specifies the custom segmentation parameters to be used. Only used when D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_PICTURE_CONTROL_0095_FLAG_ENABLE_FRAME_SEGMENTATION_CUSTOM is set for the current frame.

CustomSegmentsMap

Only used when D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_PICTURE_CONTROL_0095_FLAG_ENABLE_FRAME_SEGMENTATION_CUSTOM is set for the current frame. A D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_SEGMENTATION_MAP_0095 structure that specifies the custom segmentation map to be used if CustomSegmentation.UpdateMap is set. Otherwise, the segment map is inherited from the reference frame.

Remarks

DPB Management expectations

The following is the contract the API client and the driver must conform to when using this API:

  1. When encoding D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_FRAME_TYPE_0095_KEY_FRAME:

    • PrimaryRefFrame must be 7 (PRIMARY_REF_NONE)
    • RefreshFrameFlags must be 0xFF (conforming to the AV1 codec standard bitstream syntax)
    • For all array entries in ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors, ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex must be set to D3D12_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_INVALID_DPB_RESOURCE_INDEX
    • The values in ReferenceIndices[7] are indistinct as any value [0..7] will point to an unused DPB slot in ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors as per the point above.
    • D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODE_REFERENCE_FRAMES_0082_0 will be filled as:
      • NumTexture2Ds = 0
      • ppTexture2Ds = NULL
      • pSubresources = NULL

  2. When encoding a frame type with references (ie. SWITCH/INTER):

    • PrimaryRefFrame specifies which reference frame contains the CDF values and other state that must be loaded at the start of the frame.

    • RefreshFrameFlags must be set accordingly to indicate on which ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors DPB slots the current encoded frame reconstructed picture will be placed after encoding execution. This value must match exactly what the API client will code for refresh_frame_flags AV1 syntax element in the associated picture header for the current frame.

    • The array entries in ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors for the current frame will follow exactly what RefreshFrameFlags indicated for the previous frame.

      • For example: if RefreshFrameFlags indicates the current frame N will be placed in slots 2, 3 and 6, then in the next EncodeFrame call for frame N+1, the ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex parameter in the entries ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[1], ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[2], ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[5] parameter must point to frame N reconstructed picture in D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODE_REFERENCE_FRAMES_0080.

      • Note this includes considering RefreshFrameFlags=0xFF for D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_FRAME_TYPE_0095_KEY_FRAME as well, by marking all ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors entries pointing to the KEY frame reconstructed picture.

      • If a (non key frame) picture won't be marked with D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODER_PICTURE_CONTROL_FLAG_0080_USED_AS_REFERENCE_PICTURE, their RefreshFrameFlags must be zero to indicate this.

    • The values in ReferenceIndices[7] are within [0..7] and point to DPB slots in ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors.

    • The values of ReferenceIndices[7] must match exactly what the API client codes in the picture header for ref_frame_idx.

    • As per AV1 syntax definition of ref_frame_idx there is no requirement that the array entry values must be unique.

    • If ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[ReferenceIndices[i]]. ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex == D3D12_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_INVALID_DPB_RESOURCE_INDEX

      • This indicates the reference picture i-th won't be used for the current frame and must be ignored.

    • Otherwise (Valid ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[ReferenceIndices[i]]. ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex)

      • This indicates the reference i-th will point to the DPB slot ReferenceIndices[i] and the reconstructed picture to be used is D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODE_REFERENCE_FRAMES_0080.ppTexture2Ds[ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors[ReferenceIndices[i]].ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex]

    • D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODE_REFERENCE_FRAMES_0080 will be filled as:

      • NumTexture2Ds = {number of unique values of ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors.ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex[j] != D3D12_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_INVALID_DPB_RESOURCE_INDEX for j in {0..7} }
      • ppTexture2Ds = { compact array (no null entries) containing the reconstructed picture from the previously encoded frames that will be used as references }
      • [Texture Array mode only] pSubresources = { compact array (no null entries) containing the subresource index of the texture array from the previously encoded frames that will be used as references }

  3. When encoding a frame type without references but without clearing the DPB (ie. INTRA_ONLY)

    • PrimaryRefFrame must be 7 (PRIMARY_REF_NONE)

    • RefreshFrameFlags must be set accordingly to indicate on which ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors DPB slots the current encoded frame reconstructed picture will be placed after encoding execution. This value must match exactly what the API client will code for refresh_frame_flags AV1 syntax element in the associated picture header for the current frame.

    • The array entries in ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors for the current frame will follow exactly what RefreshFrameFlags indicated for the previous frame.

    • The values in ReferenceIndices[7] are ignored as the intra-only frame doesn't use any references.

    • D3D12DDI_VIDEO_ENCODE_REFERENCE_FRAMES_0080 contains the DPB snapshot and will be filled as:

      • NumTexture2Ds = {number of unique values of ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors.ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex[j] != D3D12_VIDEO_ENCODER_AV1_INVALID_DPB_RESOURCE_INDEX for j in {0..7} }
      • ppTexture2Ds = { compact array (no null entries) containing the reconstructed picture from the previously encoded frames referred to by ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors.ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex[j] for j in {0..7} }
      • [Texture Array mode only] pSubresources = { compact array (no null entries) containing the subresource index of the texture array from the previously encoded frames referred to by ReferenceFramesReconPictureDescriptors.ReconstructedPictureResourceIndex[j] for j in {0..7} }
