This parameter gives access to the list of handles of the surfaces belonging to the destination cluster.
A cluster is a set of surfaces having compatible characteristics, but different locations. All surfaces belonging to a cluster should be able to accept images coming from the same source through a given channel.
The idea behind the clusters is the capability to easily implement advanced destination structures such as double, triple or rotating image buffers.
Surface to Cluster Assignment
A surface can be assigned to several clusters provided that:
- The clusters belong to channels defined within the same application.
- The channels address the same board.
The maximum number of surfaces assigned to a channel is 4096, and the maximum number of surfaces instantiated within an application is 4096.
Currently, the number of surfaces that can be handled by a board may be less than the maximum, depending on the hardware capabilities and characteristics of the acquisition surface.
