A pipeline consists of at one or more each of sources, sinks, and filters.
|
|
|
|
|
These elements may be combined inside container elements, which may have
|
|
|
|
|
their own specific properties, and act as any other element. Each element
|
|
|
|
|
has one or more pads, which are connection points. These pads are
|
|
|
|
|
connected to chain from one element to the next, providing a path along
|
|
|
|
|
which buffers are passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operation of the pipeline is fully automatic once a buffer is put in the
|
|
|
|
|
front of the pipeline. As each element finishes its processing, it pushes
|
|
|
|
|
the buffer to the next element through an indirect function call, by way
|
|
|
|
|
of the two connected pads.
