If you have more than one SMX-M8xx Series Camera connected to your PC, the SMX-
M8X Camera Application allows you to switch between them.
To switch between the multiple cameras, do the following:
1. In the Device menu, select the Switch Multiple command. The 'Choose a Cam-
era…' window will appear (
see Figure 6-1 Choosing active camera ).

2. From the list of available cameras select the one you want and click OK.
Note: When more than one camera is running on the same computer, the speed of each camera decreases as well as
Frame Rate (
see chapter “Frame Rate Control” )
Note: Every opening of the application automatically detects the first connected camera. So, when connecting more
than one camera to the computer you should perform the Switch Multiple… action to choose the right camera
before running
Note: It is not recommended to run twice the same camera (to start video of one camera with 2 applications). This may
cause stopping of the camera's work
