About the Sample Video DSP Plug-in

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The sample video DSP plug-in provides a simple processing implementation that scales the color saturation of the video by a factor provided by the user in the property page. The plug-in accepts values between zero and 1. The default value is 1. A value of 1 has no effect upon the video image; other scale factors desaturate the image color. For instance, a value of .5 would result in 50 percent color saturation. A value of zero results in grayscale video.

The sample video DSP plug-in works with the following video formats:

  • NV12
  • YV12
  • YUY2
  • UYVY
  • RGB32
  • RGB24
  • RGB555
  • RGB565
