Sharing memory allocators between input and output pins is an important concept to keep performance of filter graph. Unlike more frequent scenario with different allocators, a filter (referred to as “middle filter” below) which has equal media types on input and output pins has an advantage to avoid memory-to-memory copy operation for every frame processed,…
