Assigning a Camera to a Channel

Assigning a camera to a MultiCam channel is a matter of setting the string channel-class select-level parameter CamFile to a value designating a released CAM file.

Refer to CAM Files.

The CAM file contents are basically a set of parameter setting instructions, stated in a legible way according to a specified syntax. It can be thought as a macro or script files.

When setting the parameter CamFile to a CAM file name, this file is "played". All parameter settings are realized, and the MultiCam channel is now operable for the combination of camera and operational mode corresponding to the CAM file.
