camera and distributes it to multiple destinations in this mode.
Since a GigE camera always needs a single controlling application, there will be
only one master application. The controlling master application has to open a cam-
era in multicast mode (IP 232.x.x.x for local multicast groups) in order to allow
other applications to connect to the same image data stream. Other applications
will become listeners to an existing image data stream. They do not have control
access to the camera; however, potential packet resend requests will be served
in the same manner as for the controlling application.

4.2.2 XML files
According to the GigE Vision standard a GigE camera provides an XML file that
defines the camera’s capabilities and current settings.
The XML file can be processed by software like SVCapture allowing displaying
and saving it to disk. Settings can also be saved and restored on the Camera
internal EEPROM.
