<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve control of processing of multimedia data and to address the dependency on filters for communications among multimedia components. <P>SOLUTION: A system and method for a media processor separates the functions of topology creation and maintenance from the functions of processing data through a topology. The system includes a control layer including: a topology generating elements to generate a topology describing a set of input multimedia streams, one or more sources for the input multimedia streams, a sequence operations to perform on the multimedia data, and a set of output multimedia streams; and a media processor to govern the passing of the multimedia data as described in the topology and govern the performance of the sequence of multimedia operations on the multimedia data to create the set of output multimedia streams. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
