Media Support Technologies
A number of Windows CE .NET multimedia features are designed around providing support for media formats rather than providing low-level interaction with multimedia hardware. These high-level APIs are typically built on top the low-level ones. They provide the application programmer with the tools to work with the input data and then direct the output to other low-level APIs. The application programmer typically does not even need to know that the low-level APIs even exist. For example, it is not essential that an application programmer know that DirectShow video rendering uses DirectDraw overlays.
