The library of Camera Interface Packages contains a large amount of packages for both analog and Camera Link digital camera models. Furthermore, this library is regularly updated with new packages and constantly growing.

There are 2 ways to access to the library:

Note. Starting from MultiCam 6.5, the "compatible boards" information is not anymore in the header of the CamFiles. The MultiCam user is invited to check the board compatibility by means of the Library directory browser on the Euresys website.

Note. Starting from MultiCam 6.5, the previously named "BuiltIn CamFiles" are not anymore delivered with the MultiCam. They have been converted into Camera Interface Packages. The BuiltIn CamFiles of previous MultiCam driver revisions remain operational on boards released prior to MultiCam 6.5. However, the CamFiles defining an analog video standard camera (PAL, NTSC, RS170, CCIR) for the Picolo or a Domino board are still provided with the MultiCam driver

Note. Starting from MultiCam 6.5, the previously named "Custom CamFiles" are not anymore delivered with the MultiCam driver. They have been converted into Camera Interface Packages.
