CUresult cuGraphicsVDPAURegisterVideoSurface ( CUgraphicsResource pCudaResource,
VdpVideoSurface  vdpSurface,
unsigned int  flags 
)

Registers the VdpVideoSurface specified by vdpSurface for access by CUDA. A handle to the registered object is returned as pCudaResource. The surface's intended usage is specified using flags, as follows:

  • CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_NONE: Specifies no hints about how this resource will be used. It is therefore assumed that this resource will be read from and written to by CUDA. This is the default value.
  • CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_READ_ONLY: Specifies that CUDA will not write to this resource.
  • CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_WRITE_DISCARD: Specifies that CUDA will not read from this resource and will write over the entire contents of the resource, so none of the data previously stored in the resource will be preserved.

The VdpVideoSurface is presented as an array of subresources that may be accessed using pointers returned by cuGraphicsSubResourceGetMappedArray. The exact number of valid arrayIndex values depends on the VDPAU surface format. The mapping is shown in the table below. mipLevel must be 0.

VdpChromaType arrayIndexSize FormatContent
VDP_CHROMA_TYPE_4200 w x h/2R8 Top-field luma
1 w x h/2R8 Bottom-field luma
2 w/2 x h/4R8G8 Top-field chroma
3 w/2 x h/4R8G8 Bottom-field chroma
VDP_CHROMA_TYPE_4220 w x h/2R8 Top-field luma
1 w x h/2R8 Bottom-field luma
2 w/2 x h/2R8G8 Top-field chroma
3 w/2 x h/2R8G8 Bottom-field chroma

Parameters:
pCudaResource - Pointer to the returned object handle
vdpSurface - The VdpVideoSurface to be registered
flags - Map flags
Returns:
CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, CUDA_ERROR_ALREADY_MAPPED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT,
Note:
Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
