I will really appreciate if someone can guide me on how to read from a multipectral camera for e.g[. this one.](https://www.jai.com/products/fs-3200d-10ge) , It has an NIR channel and RGB channel, I need to extract images from both of these channels and save it to disk.

Also [In this article](https://www.stemmer-imaging.com/en/technical-tips/common-vision-blox-prototyping-with-python/) it says that cvb can’t handle multi stream cameras, I hope that has changed over the years.

Thank You.

Good morning @taha99,

you can use latest CVB version, where multistream is supported in python and C++. Please see also following link: [MultiStream](https://help.commonvisionblox.com/NextGen/14.0/md_theory_of_operation_image_manager __migration_guide__ acquisition_stack.html#cpp-multiple-streams). This example is for C++, but you can use python as well: [Python MultiStream](https://help.commonvisionblox.com/NextGen/14.0/cvbpy/d3/dcc/classcvb_1_1_multi_stream_handler.html).

I hope, that this information is helpful.
