Abstract

See full text

A flexible and efficient mechanism for integrating arbitrary isochronous processing algorithms in general purpose media servers is provided. The disclosed system supports generic graphs of processing modules with for buffer management, distributed stream control, and quality of service management. A data pump component is provided for dynamically creating at least one data path for data retrieved in response to a request, the data path having a plurality of filters for processing the data with one or more processing algorithms. A graph of component then creates a graph for processing data and instructs the data pump to retrieve filters and create the data path in accordance with the graph. By distributing stream control and decoupling resource management from components responsible for processing the media stream, the disclosed system allows these generic graphs to be constructed over multiple, networked systems.
