The AVerMedia AVerTV MPEG Crossbar is a software driver component that supports the proper functioning of AVerMedia's TV tuner cards and related video capture devices on Windows operating systems. It helps facilitate communication between the hardware (like TV tuners or video capture cards) and video software, managing things like video input/output, audio streams, and encoding settings. Essentially, it's a part of the software stack that ensures the device works with video capture programs, such as AVerMedia's own software or third-party applications.
