Kernel Streaming
Kernel Streaming or Direct
Kernel streaming (Direct KS)
is a technique that supports
kernel-mode processing of
streamed data . It enables
efficient real-time streaming
for multimedia devices such
as sound cards and TV tuner
cards . Kernel streaming allows
a device driver to create Direct
Show-like filters and pins in
kernel mode, providing access
to hardware, lower latency
communication and still be
used within a DirectShow filter
graph .
