Khronos Announces Vulkan Video Encode Intra-refresh Extension

Today, with the release of version 1.4.321 of the Vulkan specification, Vulkan Video is once again being expanded for encoding operations with the introduction of the Encode Intra-refresh extension—the second advanced feature extension for encoding, following the earlier release of Encode Quantization Map. Intra-refresh is a valuable tool for enhancing video playback robustness in the presence of network errors. As a result, it is commonly used in broadcast streams, wireless video transmission, VoIP calls, and many other streaming applications.
