Description
Summary:	We present a distributed dataflow-based camera library design. It is tailored to the special needs of distributed acquisition and rendering telepresence systems with inhomogeneous camera arrays. We discuss a variety of design decisions: choice of dataflow concept, memory management, camera interface abstraction and important built-in functionality.
