DirectShow interface
DirectShow is part of the Windows Platform SDK from Microsoft and describes a generic programming interface for audio and video devices which is not specific to any manufacturer. It replaces the Video for Windows (VfW) interface.
The uEye interface of the IDS Software Suite for DirectShow makes it possible to use uEye cameras in DirectShow-based applications. The uEye DirectShow interface is a DirectShow Video Capture Filter. This means that you do not have to replace the uEye camera driver, which is necessary with the WDM Stream Class drivers. The DirectShow interface uses the standard camera driver.

The uEye DirectShow interface does not work with programs that only support the VfW interface. |
The designation WDM (Windows Driver Model) driver only means that a driver was programmed using the Windows driver model standardized by Microsoft. A WDM Stream Class driver that supports kernel streaming is linked to DirectShow via the Microsoft ksproxy filter.
