\begin{tabular}{lp{0.45\textwidth}}

\end{tabular}

where $IQF$ is the value specified using the IntraQPFactor option, and where $\lambda_{scale}$ is:

 $1.0 - max(0,min(0.5,0.05*B))$ & if LambdaFromQpEnable=false \\

calculation and PPS-0; the second part of the sequence will use $qpc=ceil(QP)$
and PPS-1. The $chromaQp$ that is then stored in the PPS is given as:
$clip(round(WCGPPSXXQpScale*baseCQp)+XXQpOffset)$ where $baseCQp=(WCGPPSChromaQpScale*qpc+WCGPPSChromaQpOffset)$.
Note that the slices will continue to have a delta QP applied.
\\

\Option{WCGPPSChromaQpScale} &
\Default{0.0} &
Scale parameter for the linear chroma QP offset mapping used for WCG content.
\\

\Option{WCGPPSChromaQpOffset} &
\Default{0.0} &
Offset parameter for the linear chroma QP offset mapping used for WCG content.
\\

\Option{WCGPPSCbQpScale}%
\Option{WCGPPSCrQpScale} &
\Default{1.0} &
Per chroma component QP scale factor depending on capture and representation color space.
For Cb component with BT.2020 container use 1.14; for BT.709 material and 1.04 for P3 material.
For Cr component with BT.2020 container use 1.79; for BT.709 material and 1.39 for P3 material.
\\

\Option{SliceChromaQPOffsetPeriodicity} &
\Default{0} &
Defines the periodicity for inter slices that use the slice-level chroma QP offsets, as defined by SliceCbQpOffsetIntraOrPeriodic and SliceCrQpOffsetIntraOrPeriodic. A value of 0 disables the periodicity. It is intended to be used in low-delay configurations where an regular intra period is not defined.
\\

\Option{SliceCbQpOffsetIntraOrPeriodic}%
\Option{SliceCrQpOffsetIntraOrPeriodic} &
\Default{0} &
Defines the slice-level QP offset to be used for intra slices, or once every 'SliceChromaQPOffsetPeriodicity' pictures.
\\

\Option{MaxCuDQPDepth (-dqd)} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{0} &
Defines maximum depth of a minimum CuDQP for sub-LCU-level delta QP.
MaxCuDQPDepth shall be greater than or equal to SliceGranularity.
\\

\Option{RDOQ} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{true} &
Enables or disables rate-distortion-optimized quantization for transformed TUs.
\\

\Option{RDOQTS} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{true} &
Enables or disables rate-distortion-optimized quantization for transform-skipped TUs.
\\

\Option{SelectiveRDOQ} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{false} &
Enables or disables selective rate-distortion-optimized quantization.
A simple quantization is use to pre-analyze, whether to bypass the RDOQ process or not. 
If all the coefficients are quantized to 0, the RDOQ process is bypassed. 
Otherwise, the RDOQ process is performed as usual.
\\

\Option{DeltaQpRD (-dqr)} &
%\ShortOption{-dqr} &
\Default{0} &
Specifies the maximum QP offset at slice level for multi-pass slice
encoding.  When encoding, each slice is tested multiple times by using
slice QP values in the range $[-\mathrm{DeltaQpRD}, \mathrm{DeptaQpRD}]$,
and the best QP value is chosen as the slice QP.
\\

\Option{MaxDeltaQP (-d)} &
%\ShortOption{-d} &
\Default{0} &
Specifies the maximum QP offset at the largest coding unit level for
the block-level adaptive QP assignment scheme. In the encoder, each
largest coding unit is tested multiple times by using the QP values in
the range $[-\mathrm{MaxDeltaQP}, \mathrm{MaxDeltaQP}]$, and the best QP
value is chosen as the QP value of the largest coding unit.
\\

\Option{dQPFile (-m)} &
%\ShortOption{-m} &
\Default{\NotSet} &
Specifies a file containing a list of QP deltas. The $n$-th line
(where $n$ is 0 for the first line) of this file corresponds to the QP
value delta for the picture with POC value $n$.
\\

\Option{PerceptQPA (-qpa)} &
%\ShortOption{-qpa} &
\Default{false} &
Enables or disables the perceptually optimized QP adaptation (QPA) method described in JVET-H0047, JVET-K0206, and JVET-M0091. Use this together with 'SliceChromaQPOffsetPeriodicity=1' and, in case of HDR input, 'LumaLevelToDeltaQPMode=1' for best subjective quality. Cannot be used together with 'SelectiveRDOQ' (see above) or 'AdaptiveQP' (see below).
\\

\Option{AdaptiveQP (-aq)} &
%\ShortOption{-aq} &
\Default{false} &
Enables or disables the legacy QP adaptation method based upon a psycho-visual model.
\\

\Option{MaxQPAdaptationRange (-aqr)} &
%\ShortOption{-aqps} &
\Default{6} &
Specifies the maximum QP adaptation range.
\\

\Option{AdaptiveQpSelection (-aqps)} &
%\ShortOption{-aqps} &
\Default{false} &
Specifies whether QP values for non-I frames will be calculated on the
fly based on statistics of previously coded frames.
\\

\Option{RecalculateQP...} \Option{AccordingToLambda} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{false} &
Recalculate QP values according to lambda values. Do not suggest to be enabled in all intra case.
\\

\Option{ScalingList} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{0} &
Controls the specification of scaling lists:
\par
\begin{tabular}{cp{0.45\textwidth}}
 0 & Scaling lists are disabled \\
 1 & Use default scaling lists \\
 2 & Scaling lists are specified in the file indicated by ScalingListFile \\
\end{tabular}
\\

\Option{ScalingListFile} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{\NotSet} &
When ScalingList is set to 2, this parameter indicates the name of the file, which contains the defined scaling lists.
If ScalingList is set to 2 and this parameter is an empty string, information on the format of the scaling list file
is output and the encoder stops.
\\

\Option{DisableScalingMatrixForLFNST} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{true} &
Specifies whether scaling matrices are to be applied to blocks coded with LFNST.
\\

\Option{DisableScalingMatrixForAlternativeColourSpace} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{true} &
Specifies whether scaling matrices are disabled to blocks when the colour space is not equal to the designated colour space of scaling matrices.
\\

\Option{ScalingMatrixDesignatedColourSpace} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{true} &
Indicates if the designated colour space of scaling matrices is equal to the original colour space.
\\

\Option{MaxCUChromaQpAdjustmentDepth} &
%\ShortOption{\None} &
\Default{-1} &
Specifies the maximum depth for CU chroma QP adjustment; if negative, CU chroma QP adjustment is disabled.
\\
