Greetings,

The forum is intended to support Canon products. Unless someone has direct experience with a Arducam?

What lens is this... 20× L IS Zoom Lens XL ???

I think you may need to visit the developers forum to discuss software SDK

Greetings,

Thanks for providing this information. I am definitely familiar with the XL2. It was every videographers dream 20 yrs ago. 😄

Hopefully the developers forum.can provide the support you need.

The XL2 was retired in 2017. That means all development also ceased.

You can see all of the developer tools that are available HERE.
