eSDK Pro Plugin Input Classes

This topic describes the Input class and the FrameInput class derived from it in the eSDK Pro Plugin API:

• Input class — Represents a generic input port that receives data from another task within the plugin pipeline.
• FrameInput class — Specialized input port for receiving image frames, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous frame access.

‍

Plugin Input Class

Namespace: eSdkPro::Plugin

‍Header: eSdkPro/plugin/port.h

An input port used to receive data from a task.
