# producesRAWOutput

Indicates whether the decoder produces RAW output which requires the use of a RAW processor.

## Declaration

```swift
optional var producesRAWOutput: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The extension should implement this property returning YES if the decoder produces RAW output which requires the use of an MERAWProcessor for post-decode processing to produce renderable output. This optional property is queried on the extension when a Video Toolbox client queries the kVTDecompressionPropertyKey_DecoderProducesRAWOutput property on the hosting VTDecompressionSession.
