Sample name	Build environment	Target operating system	PnP driver	In-box driver	Sample description
AVStream Filter-Centric Simulated Capture Driver (Avssamp)	Windows 8.1 Windows 8 Windows 7	Windows 8.1 Windows 8 Windows 7	No	No	Provides a filter-centric AVStream capture driver with functional audio. The driver performs captures at 320 x 240 resolution in RGB24 or YUV422 format while playing a user-provided pulse code modulation (PCM) wave audio file in a loop. The sample demonstrates how to write a filter-centric AVStream minidriver.
AVStream Simulated Hardware Sample Driver (Avshws)	Windows 8.1 Windows 8 Windows 7	Windows 8.1 Windows 8 Windows 7	No	No	Provides a pin-centric AVStream capture driver for a simulated piece of hardware. The driver performs captures at 320 x 240 in either an RGB24 or YUV422 format through direct DMA into capture buffers. The purpose of the sample is to demonstrate how to write a pin-centric AVStream minidriver. The sample also shows how to implement DMA by using the related functionality that AVStream provides. This sample features enhanced parameter validation and overflow detection.
