/**
A base class for all video playback (decoder and post-processor) hardware devices. 
Since both decoders and post-processors can implement post-processing functionality, 
this class includes all post-processing related methods. The main difference between decoder 
and post-processor devices is that decoders can input coded data and write decoded pictures 
to another device, while post-processor devices can accept decoded pictures from the client 
or from another device.
