# kVTVideoEncoderList_DisplayName

The encoder’s display name key.

## Declaration

```swift
let kVTVideoEncoderList_DisplayName: CFString
```

## Discussion

Discussion The associated value is a CFString with the encoder’s display name. This value will be the same as the value of kVTVideoEncoderList_CodecName if there is only one encoder for that format; otherwise, it will be the same as the value of kVTVideoEncoderList_EncoderName.
