var videoSourceBlock = new VirtualVideoSourceBlock(new VirtualVideoSourceSettings());
var bridgeVideoSink = new BridgeVideoSinkBlock(new BridgeVideoSinkSettings());
sourcePipeline.Connect(videoSourceBlock.Output, bridgeVideoSink.Input);
await sourcePipeline.StartAsync();

// sink pipeline with bridge video source and video renderer
var sinkPipeline = new MediaBlocksPipeline(true);
var bridgeVideoSource = new BridgeVideoSourceBlock(new BridgeVideoSourceSettings());
var videoRenderer = new VideoRendererBlock(sinkPipeline, VideoView1);
sinkPipeline.Connect(bridgeVideoSource.Output, videoRenderer.Input);
