Surface Class

Base class: MultiCamObject

The Surface object represents the images acquired by the channel in the computer memory.

There is a direct relation between Surface objects and EImage... objects. This relation involves no image buffer copy, the image buffers being shared between Surface and EImage... objects.

A Channel acquires images in a group of Surface objects. MultiCam provides a protection mechanism to ensure that no new acquisition occurs in a surface during image processing. This mechanism is automatic: during the 'surface processing' callback, the surface is protected and no new acquisition will occur in this surface for the duration of the callback method.

In addition, the Reserve and Free methods allow controlling manually the surface protection.
