Windows requirements

Device family	Windows 10 (introduced in 10.0.10240.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v1.0)

Remarks

To get an instance of this object, retrieve the MediaCapture.VideoDeviceController property.

Some drivers may require that the camera device preview to be in a running state before it can determine which controls are supported by the VideoDeviceController. If you check whether a certain control is supported by the VideoDeviceController before the preview stream is running, the control may be described as unsupported even though it is supported by the video device.

Note

This class is not agile, which means that you need to consider its threading model and marshaling behavior. For more info, see Threading and Marshaling (C++/CX) and Using Windows Runtime objects in a multithreaded environment (.NET).

Brightness	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the brightness level on the camera.
CameraOcclusionInfo	Gets a CameraOcclusionInfo object that can be used to get the current occlusion state of a camera and receive notifications when the occlusion state changes.
Contrast	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the contrast level on the camera.
DesiredOptimization	Gets or sets a value that indicates the optimizations the capture device should use to prioritize high quality picture, low latency, or low power consumption during video capture.
DigitalWindowControl	Gets a DigitalWindowControl that allows apps to capture a subregion of the capture device's sensor.
Exposure	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the camera's exposure time.
ExposureCompensationControl	Gets the exposure compensation control for this video device.
ExposureControl	Gets the exposure control for this video device.
ExposurePriorityVideoControl	Gets the ExposurePriorityVideoControl associated with the VideoDeviceController.
FlashControl	Gets the flash control for this video device.
Focus	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the camera's focus setting.
FocusControl	Gets the focus control for this video device.
HdrVideoControl	Gets the HdrVideoControl associated with the VideoDeviceController. This allows you to enable and disable High Dynamic Range (HDR) video capture mode on devices that support it.
Hue	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the camera's hue setting.
Id	Gets a string containing the identifier for the video device controller.
InfraredTorchControl	Gets the infrared torch control for selected video device.
IsoSpeedControl	Gets the ISO film speed control for this video device.

VariablePhotoSequenceController	Gets the VariablePhotoSequenceController associated with the VideoDeviceController.
VideoTemporalDenoisingControl	Gets the VideoTemporalDenoisingControl associated with the VideoDeviceController. This allows you to enable and disable temporal denoising, which uses image data from adjacent frames to reduce the appearance of noise in captured video, on devices that support it.
WhiteBalance	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the white balance on the camera.
WhiteBalanceControl	Gets the white balance control for this video device.
Zoom	Gets a MediaDeviceControl object that can be used to get or set the camera's zoom setting.
ZoomControl	Gets the ZoomControl associated with the VideoDeviceController.

Methods

GetAvailableMediaStreamProperties(MediaStreamType)	Gets a list of the supported encoding properties for the video device.
GetDeviceProperty(String)	Gets the value of the property with the specified ID from the capture device driver. You can use this method to query properties that are specific to a particular camera.
GetDevicePropertyByExtendedId(Byte[], IReference<UInt32>)	Gets the value of the property with the specified ID from the capture device driver, using an extended ID with custom header information and specifying the maximum buffer size required to store the result. You can use this method to query properties that are specific to a particular camera.
GetDevicePropertyById(String, IReference<UInt32>)	Gets a the value of the property from the capture device driver with the ID with custom header information. You can use this method to query properties that are specific to a particular camera.
GetMediaStreamProperties(MediaStreamType)	Gets the encoding properties for the specified media stream type for the video device.
SetDeviceProperty(String, Object)	Sets the value of the property with the specified ID on the capture device driver. You can use this method to set properties that are specific to a particular camera.
SetDevicePropertyByExtendedId(Byte[], Byte[])	Sets the value of the property with the specified ID from the capture device driver, using an extended ID with custom header information and providing the value as a byte array.
SetDevicePropertyById(String, Object)	Sets the value of the property with the specified ID from the capture device driver, using an extended ID with custom header information and providing the value as an object.
SetMediaStreamPropertiesAsync(MediaStreamType, IMediaEncodingProperties)	Sets the encoding properties asynchronously for the specified media stream type for the video device.
TryAcquireExclusiveControl(String, MediaCaptureDeviceExclusiveControlReleaseMode)	Requests exclusive control of the camera with the specified device ID.
