What Is a Collection Parameter?

Some MultiCam parameters exist in the collection flavor. This applies to any parameter type.

The collection parameter is a container able to host several values of the same type. In other words, it provides a way to reach several parameters of the same type using a single parameter name.

There are five types of MultiCam collection parameters.
