Operator Library: Hardware Platform
The CameraControl operator provides the camera control [CC] interface to the connected camera. When using multiple instances of the CameraControl operator, the assignment to the proper camera port can be made in the resource dialog window. Thus, this operator requires one VisualApplets resource of type CameraControl. The resource index 0 maps to camera port A and the resource index 1 maps to camera port B. Check 'Allocation of Device Resources' for more information.

|---|---|
|
Due to the board design of microEnable 5 VD8-PoCL, only one instance of this operator is available on this platform. |
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Operator Type | M |
| Input Link | CC[1-4], signal input |
| Port Name | Direction | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| CC1 | Input | OM | Camera Link CC1 channel. |
