ScreenCaptureKit was discussed in the session titled "Capture HDR content with ScreenCaptureKit" at WWDC 2024. This session introduced several new features and improvements for developers using ScreenCaptureKit:
-
HDR Content Capture: You can now capture streams and screenshots with HDR, providing a wider range of brightness levels and colors compared to SDR. This is achieved by configuring the SC stream with properties like capture dynamic range, pixel format, and color space name.
-
Microphone Output: A new microphone output is available, allowing apps to capture microphone audio along with screen and system audio. This is configured using the SC stream configuration.
-
Recording API: A new recording API simplifies the process of recording screen, audio, and microphone content, handling asset writing details for you.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session chapters:
These enhancements make it easier for developers to integrate high-quality screen capture features into their applications.
