Systems and methods for generating and managing filter strings in a filter graph utilizing a matrix switch
First Claim
1. A method implemented at a computing device having a processor and cache memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the method comprising:
- generating a source chain for use in a development project, the source chain comprising a plurality of filters each communicatively connected with one another to form a filter chain having an input at a first end and an output at a second end, the plurality of filters being communicatively connected by;
coupling virtual output pins of one filter to virtual input pins of another filter of the plurality of filters;
orscheduling object calls between a filter and another filter to communicate information;
coupling the source chain with a matrix switch comprising a scalable plurality of inputs and a scalable plurality of outputs, wherein the matrix switch is configured to receive data from any one or more of the scalable plurality of outputs as one or more of the scalable plurality of inputs;
processing media using the source chain and said matrix switch to produce at least one development project; and
caching the source chain to the cache memory of the computing device when it is not currently required in the development project, resulting in expedited commencement of the source chain for use when subsequently required and reduction of computational and system requirements placed on the computing device.

Abstract
Systems and methods load one or more source processing chains to support execution of a development project and determine whether each of the one or more processing chains will be subsequently required during execution of this or another development project. If one or more processing chains are needed, each is cached for subsequent use. The source processing chains are coupled with a matrix switch comprising a scalable plurality of inputs and a scalable plurality of outputs, wherein any one or more of the inputs may be iteratively coupled to any one or more of the outputs. Media is processed using the source processing chain(s) and the matrix switch to produce at least one development project.
