# init(outputSettings:)

Creates a video output object initialized with the specified output settings.

```
init(outputSettings: [String : any Sendable]?)
```

## Parameters

`outputSettings`

The client requirements for output <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreVideo/cvpixelbuffer-q2e> objects, expressed using the constants in `AVVideoSettings.h`.

## Discussion

For uncompressed video output, start with `kCVPixelBuffer*` keys in `<CoreVideo/CVPixelBuffer.h>`. In addition to the keys in `CVPixelBuffer.h`, uncompressed video settings dictionaries may also provide a value for [`AVVideoAllowWideColorKey`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVVideoAllowWideColorKey).
