# CVPixelBufferRepresentable

CVPixelBufferRepresentable protocol is a sealed protocol intended to be implemented by the types in CoreVideo framework. This protocol facilitates Swift types that wrap a value of CVPixelBuffer type.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol CVPixelBufferRepresentable : CVImageBufferRepresentable, ~Copyable
```
