An abstract superclass for objects that provide input data to a capture session.

Declaration

class AVCaptureInput

Mentioned in

Overview

You create concrete instances of this class, such as AVCaptureDeviceInput, to add inputs to a capture session. An input provides one or more streams of media data. For example, input devices can provide both audio and video data. The framework represents each media stream that an input provides as an AVCaptureInput.Port object.

A capture makes connections between capture inputs and capture outputs using a AVCaptureConnection object. The connection defines the mapping between a set of port objects and an AVCaptureOutput.
