DirectShow is part of the Windows Platform SDK from Microsoft and describes a generic (i.e. manufacturer-independent) programming interface for audio and video devices. The DirectShow interface in IDS peak allows you to use a uEye+ camera in DirectShow-based applications. The interface is a DirectShow video capture filter and is based on the transport layer of IDS peak. The interface is introduced for the first time with IDS peak 2.9 under Windows.
