MontiVision Development Kit - List of supported Hardware

The SDK is 100% DirectShow compatible and therefore supports WDM Streaming Driver (WDM Stream Class Driver) - often marked as DirectShow/DirectX compatible drivers. In addition, a lot of hardware vendors provide custom DirectShow Source filters based on their Driver SDKs or Hardware APIs. The following (incomplete) list shows a subset of the hardware supported by the MontiVision Development Kit.
