Note
Valid range: 0..63
AOME_SET_MAX_INTRA_BITRATE_PCT 

Codec control function to set Max data rate for Intra frames.

This value controls additional clamping on the maximum size of a keyframe. It is expressed as a percentage of the average per-frame bitrate, with the special (and default) value 0 meaning unlimited, or no additional clamping beyond the codec's built-in algorithm.

For example, to allocate no more than 4.5 frames worth of bitrate to a keyframe, set this to 450.

AOME_SET_NUMBER_SPATIAL_LAYERS 

Codec control function to set number of spatial layers.

AV1E_SET_MAX_INTER_BITRATE_PCT 

Codec control function to set max data rate for Inter frames.

This value controls additional clamping on the maximum size of an inter frame. It is expressed as a percentage of the average per-frame bitrate, with the special (and default) value 0 meaning unlimited, or no additional clamping beyond the codec's built-in algorithm.

For example, to allow no more than 4.5 frames worth of bitrate to an inter frame, set this to 450.

AV1E_SET_GF_CBR_BOOST_PCT 

Boost percentage for Golden Frame in CBR mode.

This value controls the amount of boost given to Golden Frame in CBR mode. It is expressed as a percentage of the average per-frame bitrate, with the special (and default) value 0 meaning the feature is off, i.e., no golden frame boost in CBR mode and average bitrate target is used.

For example, to allow 100% more bits, i.e, 2X, in a golden frame than average frame, set this to 100.

AV1E_SET_LOSSLESS 

Codec control function to set lossless encoding mode.

AV1 can operate in lossless encoding mode, in which the bitstream produced will be able to decode and reconstruct a perfect copy of input source. This control function provides a mean to switch encoder into lossless coding mode(1) or normal coding mode(0) that may be lossy. 0 = lossy coding mode 1 = lossless coding mode

By default, encoder operates in normal coding mode (maybe lossy).

AV1E_SET_TILE_COLUMNS 

Codec control function to set number of tile columns.

In encoding and decoding, AV1 allows an input image frame be partitioned into separated vertical tile columns, which can be encoded or decoded independently. This enables easy implementation of parallel encoding and decoding. This control requests the encoder to use column tiles in encoding an input frame, with number of tile columns (in Log2 unit) as the parameter: 0 = 1 tile column 1 = 2 tile columns 2 = 4 tile columns ..... n = 2**n tile columns The requested tile columns will be capped by encoder based on image size limitation (The minimum width of a tile column is 256 pixel, the maximum is 4096).

By default, the value is 0, i.e. one single column tile for entire image.

AV1E_SET_TILE_ROWS 

Codec control function to set number of tile rows.

In encoding and decoding, AV1 allows an input image frame be partitioned into separated horizontal tile rows. Tile rows are encoded or decoded sequentially. Even though encoding/decoding of later tile rows depends on earlier ones, this allows the encoder to output data packets for tile rows prior to completely processing all tile rows in a frame, thereby reducing the latency in processing between input and output. The parameter for this control describes the number of tile rows, which has a valid range [0, 2]: 0 = 1 tile row 1 = 2 tile rows 2 = 4 tile rows

By default, the value is 0, i.e. one single row tile for entire image.

AV1E_SET_FRAME_PARALLEL_DECODING 

Codec control function to enable frame parallel decoding feature.

AV1 has a bitstream feature to reduce decoding dependency between frames by turning off backward update of probability context used in encoding and decoding. This allows staged parallel processing of more than one video frames in the decoder. This control function provides a mean to turn this feature on or off for bitstreams produced by encoder.

By default, this feature is off.

AV1E_SET_ERROR_RESILIENT_MODE 

Codec control function to enable error_resilient_mode.

AV1 has a bitstream feature to guarantee parseability of a frame by turning on the error_resilient_decoding mode, even though the reference buffers are unreliable or not received.

By default, this feature is off.

AV1E_SET_S_FRAME_MODE 

Codec control function to enable s_frame_mode.

AV1 has a bitstream feature to designate certain frames as S-frames, from where we can switch to a different stream, even though the reference buffers may not be exactly identical.

By default, this feature is off.

AV1E_SET_AQ_MODE 

Codec control function to set adaptive quantization mode.

AV1 has a segment based feature that allows encoder to adaptively change quantization parameter for each segment within a frame to improve the subjective quality. This control makes encoder operate in one of the several AQ_modes supported.

By default, encoder operates with AQ_Mode 0(adaptive quantization off).

AV1E_SET_FRAME_PERIODIC_BOOST 

Codec control function to enable/disable periodic Q boost.

One AV1 encoder speed feature is to enable quality boost by lowering frame level Q periodically. This control function provides a mean to turn on/off this feature. 0 = off 1 = on

By default, the encoder is allowed to use this feature for appropriate encoding modes.

AV1E_SET_NOISE_SENSITIVITY 

Codec control function to set noise sensitivity.

0: off, 1: On(YOnly)

AV1E_SET_ENABLE_REF_FRAME_MVS 

Codec control function to turn on / off ref frame mvs (mfmv) usage at sequence level.

This will enable or disable usage of MFMV. The default value is 1. If AV1E_SET_ENABLE_ORDER_HINT is 0, then this flag is forced to 0.

AV1E_SET_ALLOW_REF_FRAME_MVS 

Codec control function to set temporal mv prediction enabling/disabling at frame level.

This will enable or disable temporal mv predicton. The default value is 1. If AV1E_SET_ENABLE_REF_FRAME_MVS is 0, then this flag is forced to 0.

AV1E_SET_ENABLE_WARPED_MOTION 

Codec control function to turn on / off warped motion usage at sequence level.

This will enable or disable usage of warped motion. The default value is 1.

AV1E_SET_ALLOW_WARPED_MOTION 

Codec control function to turn on / off warped motion usage at frame level.

This will enable or disable usage of warped motion. The default value is 1. If AV1E_SET_ENABLE_WARPED_MOTION is 0, then this flag is forced to 0.

AV1E_SET_ENABLE_SUPERRES 

Codec control function to turn on / off frame superresolution.

This will enable or disable frame superresolution. The default value is 1 If AV1E_SET_ENABLE_SUPERRES is 0, then this flag is forced to 0.

AV1E_SET_TILE_LOOPFILTER_V 

Codec control function to set loop_filter_across_tiles_v_enabled and loop_filter_across_tiles_h_enabled. In encoding and decoding, AV1 allows disabling loop filter across tile boundary The parameter for this control describes the value of this flag, which has a valid range [0, 1]: 0 = disable loop filter across tile boundary 1 = enable loop filter across tile boundary.

By default, the value is 1, i.e. enable loop filter across tile boundary.

Experiment: LOOPFILTERING_ACROSS_TILES_EXT

AV1E_SET_TILE_LOOPFILTER 

Codec control function to set loop_filter_across_tiles_enabled.

In encoding and decoding, AV1 allows disabling loop filter across tile boundary The parameter for this control describes the value of this flag, which has a valid range [0, 1]: 0 = disable loop filter across tile boundary 1 = enable loop filter across tile boundary

By default, the value is 1, i.e. enable loop filter across tile boundary.

Experiment: LOOPFILTERING_ACROSS_TILES

AV1E_SET_DELTAQ_MODE 

Codec control function to set the delta q mode.

AV1 has a segment based feature that allows encoder to adaptively change quantization parameter for each segment within a frame to improve the subjective quality. the delta q mode is added on top of segment based feature, and allows control per 64x64 q and lf delta.This control makes encoder operate in one of the several DELTA_Q_modes supported.

By default, encoder operates with DELTAQ_Mode 0(deltaq signaling off).

AV1E_SET_SINGLE_TILE_DECODING 

Codec control function to set the single tile decoding mode to 0 or 1.

0 means that the single tile decoding is off, and 1 means that the single tile decoding is on.

Experiment: EXT_TILE

AV1E_ENABLE_MOTION_VECTOR_UNIT_TEST 

Codec control function to enable the extreme motion vector unit test in AV1. Please note that this is only used in motion vector unit test.

0 : off, 1 : MAX_EXTREME_MV, 2 : MIN_EXTREME_MV
