# VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures - Structure describing Y′CBCR conversion features that can be supported by an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           samplerYcbcrConversion;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion
    // Equivalent to VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures
    typedef VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeaturesKHR;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

## Description

- `samplerYcbcrConversion` specifies whether the implementation supports sampler Y′CBCR conversion. If `samplerYcbcrConversion` is VK_FALSE, sampler Y′CBCR conversion is not supported, and samplers using sampler Y′CBCR conversion must not be used.

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SAMPLER_YCBCR_CONVERSION_FEATURES

Structure Chaining

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo
