CVPixelBufferMBS.Constructor(Width as Integer, Height as Integer, PixelFormat as Integer, data as MemoryBlock, bytesPerRow as Integer, pixelBufferAttributes as Dictionary)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	AVFoundation	MBS AVFoundation Plugin	19.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Creates a pixel buffer for a given size and pixel format containing data specified by a memory location.
Notes:
width: The width of the pixel buffer, in pixels.
height: The height of the pixel buffer, in pixels.
pixelFormatType: The pixel format identified by its respective four character code
baseAddress: The memoryblock referenced by the PixelBuffer with the data.
bytesPerRow: The row bytes of the pixel storage memory.
pixelBufferAttributes: A Core Foundation dictionary with additional attributes for a pixel buffer. This parameter is optional.

Returns a Core Video result code. See Core Video Constants for possible values.
Some of the parameters specified in this call override equivalent pixel buffer attributes. For example, if you define the kCVPixelBufferWidth and kCVPixelBufferHeight keys in the pixel buffer attributes parameter (pixelBufferAttributes), these values are overridden by the width and height parameters.
