Developed by Westwood Studios in 1995, Command & Conquer takes place when a strange crystalline substance called Tiberium starts appearing on Earth. While the Global Defense Initiative attempts to control the situation, a faction.

Kernel streaming (KS) services support kernel-mode processing of data streams for audio and for other types of continuous media. Conceptually, a stream undergoes processing as it flows along a data path containing some number of processing nodes. A set of related nodes is grouped together to form a KS filter, which represents a more-or-less independent block of stream-processing functionality. More complex functions can be constructed in a modular way by cascading several filters together to form a filter graph.

A typical audio adapter card might contain audio devices for playing a wave stream through a set of speakers, converting the audio signal from a microphone to a wave stream, and synthesizing sound from a MIDI stream. The adapter driver can wrap each of these audio devices in a KS filter that it exposes to the operating system. The operating system connects the filters to other filters to form filter graphs that process audio streams on behalf of application programs.

KS filters are connected together through their pins. A pin on an audio filter can be thought of as an audio jack. A client instantiates an input or output pin on a filter when the client needs to route a data stream into or out of that filter. In some contexts, the terms pin and stream can be used interchangeably.

The output pin of the upstream filter is connected to the input pin of the downstream filter. The data stream from the output pin must have a data format that the input pin can accept. Data buffering is typically required to smooth out momentary mismatches in the rates at which an output pin produces data and an input pin consumes it.

A KS filter is implemented as a kernel-mode driver object that encapsulates some number of related stream-processing functions. The functionality can be implemented in software or in hardware. In this model, an audio adapter can be viewed as a collection of hardware devices, and the adapter driver exposes each of these devices to the audio system as an individual filter.

Computer Sound Cards

An adapter driver exposes a collection of filter factories to the audio system. Each filter factory is capable of instantiating filters of a particular type:

  • If the adapter contains one or more devices that are similar or identical in function, the driver groups the filters for those devices together into the same filter factory.

  • If the adapter contains several different types of devices, those devices are presented through several different filter factories.

A KS filter exposes a collection of pin factories to the audio system. Each pin factory is capable of instantiating pins of a particular type. If the filter can provide one or more pins that are similar or identical in function, the filter groups those pins together into the same pin factory. For example, a filter that performs audio mixing might have one pin factory that can instantiate a single output pin and a second pin factory that can instantiate several input pins.

KS services are built upon the Windows Driver Model. Note that the term KS filter must be distinguished from the term filter driver, which is another WDM concept. A filter driver resides in a WDM driver stack and can intercept and modify the I/O request packets (IRPs) that propagate through the stack. Upper- and lower-level filter drivers reside above and below the function driver, respectively. In this section, the term filter refers to a KS filter rather than a filter driver unless noted otherwise. For more information about filter drivers, see Types of WDM Drivers.

The Challenge of Multimedia

Working with multimedia presents several major challenges:

  • Multimedia streams contain large amounts of data, which must be processed very quickly.
  • Audio and video must be synchronized so that it starts and stops at the same time, and plays at the same rate.
  • Data can come from many sources, including local files, computer networks, television broadcasts, and video cameras.
  • Data comes in a variety of formats, such as Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI), Advanced Streaming Format (ASF), Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG), and Digital Video (DV).
  • The programmer does not know in advance what hardware devices will be present on the end-user's system.

The DirectShow Solution

Gdi Sound Cards For Kids

DirectShow is designed to address each of these challenges. Its main design goal is to simplify the task of creating digital media applications on the Windows platform, by isolating applications from the complexities of data transports, hardware differences, and synchronization.

To achieve the throughput needed to stream video and audio, DirectShow uses Direct3D and DirectSound whenever possible. These technologies render data efficiently to the user's sound and graphics cards. DirectShow synchronizes playback by encapsulating media data in time-stamped samples. To handle the variety of sources, formats, and hardware devices that are possible, DirectShow uses a modular architecture, in which the application mixes and matches different software components called filters.

DirectShow provides filters that support capture and tuning devices based on the Windows Driver Model (WDM), as well as filters that support older Video for Windows (VfW) capture cards, and codecs written for the Audio Compression Manager (ACM) and Video Compression Manager (VCM) interfaces.

The following diagram shows the relationship between an application, the DirectShow components, and some of the hardware and software components that DirectShow supports.

As illustrated here, DirectShow filters communicate with, and control, a wide variety of devices, including the local file system, TV tuner and video capture cards, VfW codecs, the video display (through DirectDraw or GDI), and the sound card (through DirectSound). Thus, DirectShow insulates the application from many of the complexities of these devices. DirectShow also provides native compression and decompression filters for certain file formats.
