Parameters

A MultiCam parameter is a control item, its value can be written and read by the software application.

A "set" function writes a value into a parameter. This results into a predictable modification of some hardware or software aspect of the system.

A "get" function reads the value of a parameter. This is a way to obtain information on the present state of some hardware or software aspect of the system.

All MultiCam parameters are named objects. The parameters serving a similar goal are grouped in classes. A parameter name is unique within a given class.
