[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The Broadcast Architecture Programmer's Reference assumes the reader is familiar with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and with general concepts of programming for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, such as:

• The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) driver model
• The Windows Sockets (WinSock) application programming interface (API)
• The Microsoft® DirectShow™ API
• Stream class drivers based on the Windows Driver Model (WDM)
