Camera Spectral Sensitivity
The Spectrum 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 |
For the frame grabber point of view, BW and IR are equivalent. The wording "monochrome cameras" designates both classes of cameras.
The class of color cameras is further divided into several sub-classes. See Color Camera Specification.
