public static final String FEATURE_DetachedSurface
```
**video decoder only**: codec supports detaching the output surface when in Surface mode.
If true, the codec can be configured in Surface mode without an actual surface (in detached surface mode).
**See also:**
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#CONFIGURE_FLAG_DETACHED_SURFACE`
Constant Value: "detached-surface"
### FEATURE_DynamicColorAspects
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_DynamicColorAspects
```
**video decoder only**: codec supports dynamically changing color aspects.
If true, the codec can propagate color aspect changes during decoding. This is only meaningful at session boundaries, e.g. upon processing Picture Parameter Sets prior to a new IDR. The color aspects may come from the bitstream, or may be provided using `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#setParameters(android.os.Bundle)` calls.
If the codec supports both 8-bit and 10-bit profiles, this feature means that the codec can dynamically switch between 8 and 10-bit profiles, but this is restricted to Surface mode only.
If the device supports HDR transfer functions, switching between SDR and HDR transfer is also supported. Together with the previous clause this means that switching between SDR and HDR sessions are supported in Surface mode, as SDR is typically encoded at 8-bit and HDR at 10-bit.
Constant Value: "dynamic-color-aspects"
### FEATURE_DynamicTimestamp
Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_DynamicTimestamp

Constant Value: "dynamic-timestamp"
### FEATURE_EncodingStatistics
Added in [API level 33](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_EncodingStatistics
```
**video encoder only** : codec supports exporting encoding statistics. Encoders with this feature can provide the App clients with the encoding statistics information about the frame. The scope of encoding statistics is controlled by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY_VIDEO_ENCODING_STATISTICS_LEVEL`.
**See also:**

### FEATURE_FrameParsing
Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_FrameParsing
```
**decoder only**If true, the codec supports partial (including multiple) access units per input buffer.
Constant Value: "frame-parsing"
### FEATURE_HdrEditing
Added in [API level 33](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_HdrEditing
```
**video encoder only**: codec supports HDR editing.
HDR editing support means that the codec accepts 10-bit HDR input surface, and it is capable of generating any HDR metadata required from both YUV and RGB input when the metadata is not present. This feature is only meaningful when using an HDR capable profile (and 10-bit HDR input).
This feature implies that the codec is capable of encoding at least one HDR format, and that it supports RGBA_1010102 as well as P010, and optionally RGBA_FP16 input formats, and that the encoder can generate HDR metadata for all supported HDR input formats.
Constant Value: "hdr-editing"
### FEATURE_HlgEditing
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_HlgEditing
```
**video encoder only**: codec supports HLG editing.
HLG editing support means that the codec accepts 10-bit HDR input surface in both YUV and RGB pixel format. This feature is only meaningful when using a 10-bit (HLG) profile and 10-bit input.
This feature implies that the codec is capable of encoding 10-bit format, and that it supports RGBA_1010102 as well as P010, and optionally RGBA_FP16 input formats.
The difference between this feature and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities#FEATURE_HdrEditing` is that HLG does not require the generation of HDR metadata and does not use an explicit HDR profile.
Constant Value: "hlg-editing"
### FEATURE_IntraRefresh
Added in [API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_IntraRefresh
```
**video encoder only**: codec supports intra refresh.

### FEATURE_LowLatency
Added in [API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_LowLatency
```
**decoder only**: codec supports low latency decoding. If supported, clients can enable the low latency mode for the decoder. When the mode is enabled, the decoder doesn't hold input and output data more than required by the codec standards.
Constant Value: "low-latency"
### FEATURE_MultipleFrames
Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_MultipleFrames
```
If true, the codec supports multiple access units (for decoding, or to output for encoders). If false, the codec only supports single access units. Producing multiple access units for output is an optional feature.
Constant Value: "multiple-frames"
### FEATURE_PartialFrame
Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_PartialFrame

Constant Value: "partial-frame"
### FEATURE_QpBounds
Added in [API level 31](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_QpBounds
```
**video encoder only**: codec supports quantization parameter bounds.
**See also:**
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY_VIDEO_QP_MAX`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY_VIDEO_QP_MIN`
Constant Value: "qp-bounds"
### FEATURE_Roi
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String FEATURE_Roi
```
**video encoder only**: codec supports region of interest encoding.
RoI encoding support means the codec accepts information that specifies the relative importance of different portions of each video frame. This allows the encoder to separate a video frame into critical and non-critical regions, and use more bits (better quality) to represent the critical regions and de-prioritize non-critical regions. In other words, the encoder chooses a negative qp bias for the critical portions and a zero or positive qp bias for the non-critical portions.
At a basic level, if the encoder decides to encode each frame with a uniform quantization value 'qpFrame' and a 'qpBias' is chosen/suggested for an LCU of the frame, then the actual qp of the LCU will be 'qpFrame + qpBias', although this value can be clamped basing on the min-max configured qp bounds for the current encoding session.
In a shot, if a group of LCUs pan out quickly they can be marked as non-critical thereby enabling the encoder to reserve fewer bits during their encoding. Contrarily, LCUs that remain in shot for a prolonged duration can be encoded at better quality in one frame thereby setting-up an excellent long-term reference for all future frames.
Note that by offsetting the quantization of each LCU, the overall bit allocation will differ from the originally estimated bit allocation, and the encoder will adjust the frame quantization for subsequent frames to meet the bitrate target. An effective selection of critical regions can set-up a golden reference and this can compensate for the bit burden that was introduced due to encoding RoI's at better quality. On the other hand, an ineffective choice of critical regions might increase the quality of certain parts of the image but this can hamper quality in subsequent frames.
