+<p>This section provides an overview of all the components that form the Multimedia
+APIs and Frameworks collection. </p>
+<section><title>Purpose</title> <p>The Multimedia APIs and Frameworks collection
+provides a client API consisting of several interfaces that encapsulate a
+lightweight plug-in framework. The client API enables you to manipulate the
+audio and video features of the Symbian platform. </p> </section>
+<section><title>Architectural Relationship</title> <p>The following figure
+shows the architectural of the components that form the Multimedia APIs and
+Frameworks collection. </p> <fig id="GUID-E1D9CC8C-11B1-5BC5-A259-B77C5E06CD23">

+<section><title>Description</title> <p>The Multimedia Framework overview details
+the architecture of the components that constitutes the Multimedia APIs and
+Frameworks collection. </p> <p>The Multimedia Subsystem provides the Multimedia
+capabilities of the Symbian platform. It includes audio recording/playback,
+video recording/playback, still image conversion and camera control. It includes
+framework to support these, even if all these functionality are not included.
+The function inclusion depends on the discretion of the device creator. </p> </section>
+<section><title>Components</title> <p>The Multimedia APIs and Frameworks constitutes
+the following components: </p> <ul>

+
+<li id="GUID-36787CFE-5BF1-53A2-B3DF-C936CCAFAA33"><p>Camera API </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-A64B0DF5-59A8-5526-99AE-B8CA4A7E6244"><p>Image Conversion Library
+(ICL) </p> </li>

+(MMF) </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-77EBAE98-96F5-5810-A540-FABE9EC3FDAB"><p>Multimedia Utility Library </p> </li>
+
+</ul> <p><b>Camera </b> </p> <p>The
+Onboard Camera API can be used to achieve video input streaming, and direct
+screen access can be used to achieve video output streaming. For more information
+about the Onboard Camera API, see <xref href="GUID-80EC80E2-E197-50F7-B1FD-720A00AC3B4D.dita">Onboard
+Camera API Overview</xref>. </p> <p><b>Image Conversion Library </b> </p> <p>The
+Image Conversion Library is a light-weight, client-side plug-in framework
+for still image codecs. A number of software codecs are shipped with the Symbian
+platform, most of which are un-optimised, but device creators may replace
+them with optimised or hardware accelerated versions. The JPEG decoder / encoder
+has been optimised. </p> <p><b>Multimedia Framework </b> </p> <p>The Multimedia
+Framework is a light-weight, multi-threaded plug-in framework for handling
+multimedia data, running as one or more threads in the application process.
+The only controller plug-in supplied by default is a simple linear audio controller.
+In turn this supports a number of formats and audio data types. In addition
+two example controllers are supplied; one for audio (Ogg/Vorbis) and one for
+video (Avi/XviD). </p> <p><b>Multimedia Utility Library </b> </p> <p>The Multimedia
+Utility Library provides shared utilities for the MMF. </p> </section>
+<section><title>Using Multimedia APIs and Frameworks</title> <p>The Multimedia
+APIs and Frameworks collection provides cross-platform compatibility for client
+applications and hardware acceleration plug-in writers, and reduces the cost
+of porting the applications and codecs between platforms. </p> </section>
