Spectrum
This parameter declares the spectral sensitivity of the camera feeding the channel. MultiCam supports three spectral sensitivities:
- BW: The "Black/white cameras" are delivering a monochrome video signal built from an imager having a spectral response covering the visible light spectrum,
- IR: The "Infrared cameras" are delivering a monochrome video signal built from an imager having a spectral response covering the infra-red light spectrum,
- COLOR: The "Color cameras" are delivering a multi-component video signal built from either a single imager having Color Filter Arrays or from multiple imagers having different spectral responses
Note: for the frame grabber point of view, BW and IR are equivalent. The wording "Monochrome cameras" designates both classes of cameras.
Note: the class of color cameras is further divided into several sub-classes. See "Color camera class specification"
