# builtInTrueDepthCamera

A device that consists of two cameras, one Infrared and one YUV.

```
static let builtInTrueDepthCamera: AVCaptureDevice.DeviceType
```

## Discussion

The infrared camera provides high-quality depth information that’s synchronized and perspective corrected to the frame the YUV camera produces. While the resolution of the depth data and YUV frames may differ, their field of view and aspect ratio always match.
