Setting ChannelState to IDLE

On setting the ChannelState parameter to IDLE, MultiCam associates the required grabber resources to the channel. ChannelState changes to IDLE.

The command will terminate successfully when all required grabber resources are available. It might take some time to complete.

This command implicitly selects the automatic switching mechanism for this channel.
