We need to develop a C++ DirectShow filter that does the following:

A. configuration: (using interop)

A1 - receive a camera name and resolution (camera_in).
A2 - receive a virtual camera name for output (camera_out).

B. connection/disconnection:

B1 - connect/disconnect the camera (camera_in) on command.
B2 - connect/disconnect the virtual camera (camera_out) on command
B3 - can be reconfigured at runtime and reconnected to a new configuration.

C. runtime of camera connectivity:

C1 - receive the most recent frame from the camera (camera_in).
C2 - share the received frame as bitmap in memory with an external program (using interop)

D. runtime of virtual camera:

D1 - receive a memory bitmap shared by an external program (using interop)
D2 - send the received frame to the virtual camera (camera_out).

technical details and remarks:

B1.1 - connect to the output pins of the given camera (camera_in)
B2.1 - connect to the input pins of the given output camera (camera_out)

B2.2 - we already have a virtual camera implementation and installer, it will be provided.

C1.1 - if there is a new frame from the incoming camera (camera_in) there will be boolean that indicates it.
this boolean will be set to false once the new frame has been requested by the external program.

E. test program:

E1 - a test program will be provided showing control over the process, selecting a camera, and a
virtual camera and writing a text with the current fps on the output frame.

F. installation script:

F1 - an installation script for the filter will be provided as part of the solution.
