Vulkan 1.4.327 Introduces A New Valve Vendor Extension


Version 1.4.327 of the Vulkan API specification was released on Friday and with it comes one new extension, which is a Valve vendor extension.

The new Vulkan 1.4.327 extension is VK_VALVE_video_encode_rgb_conversion that comes thanks to Valve's engaging work around Linux and the open-source community. This will presumably come in handy for Valve's Steam Link casting type purposes and more. The VK_VALVE_video_encode_rgb_conversion extension was worked on by Autumn Ashton of Valve as well as Daniel Rakos of RasterGrid.
