Sample pipelines

First pipeline with a video source and a bridge video sink

Second pipeline with a bridge video source and a video renderer

Sample code

Source pipeline with a virtual video source and bridge video sink.

// create source pipeline
var sourcePipeline = new MediaBlocksPipeline();

// create virtual video source and bridge video sink
var videoSourceBlock = new VirtualVideoSourceBlock(new VirtualVideoSourceSettings());
var bridgeVideoSink = new BridgeVideoSinkBlock(new BridgeVideoSinkSettings());

// connect source and sink
sourcePipeline.Connect(videoSourceBlock.Output, bridgeVideoSink.Input);

// start pipeline
await sourcePipeline.StartAsync();

Sink pipeline with a bridge video source and video renderer.

// create sink pipeline
var sinkPipeline = new MediaBlocksPipeline();

// create bridge video source and video renderer
var bridgeVideoSource = new BridgeVideoSourceBlock(new BridgeVideoSourceSettings());
var videoRenderer = new VideoRendererBlock(sinkPipeline, VideoView1);

// connect source and sink
sinkPipeline.Connect(bridgeVideoSource.Output, videoRenderer.Input);

// start pipeline
await sinkPipeline.StartAsync();
