Surface Index

Registering the surfaces to the destination cluster implicitly assigns a numeric zero-base index to each surface of the channel. This index is called the surface index. This index can be seen as the serial number of the registered surface, or equivalently as the displacement inside the collection parameter. The surface index is made available to the application through the MultiCam channel parameter SurfaceIndex.

Obviously, all the surfaces have to be created beforehand.

It is allowed to assign the same surface to more than one cluster belonging to different channels.

Refer to the MultiCam release notes for restriction on the capability of multiple assignment of a surface to several clusters, and to the maximum number of surfaces that can be created.
