Abstract: A system and method for allowing a host to support a plurality of capture devices have been disclosed. The host includes a application program. In one aspect, the method and system include providing a first digital imaging device module, providing an interface layer, and providing a second digital imaging device module. The first digital imaging device module includes information relating to a first digital imaging device and is for controlling and providing connectivity to the first digital imaging device. The interface layer is for communicating between the application and the first digital imaging device module. The second digital imaging device module includes information relating to a second digital imaging device. The second digital imaging device module is for controlling and providing connectivity to the second digital imaging device and is accessible by the application through the interface layer. In another aspect, the method and system include providing a plurality of capture device modules and providing an interface control layer. Each capture device module corresponds to each of the plurality of capture devices. Each capture device module controls, provides a user interface for, and provides connectivity to the corresponding capture device. The interface control layer is for communicating between the application and each of the plurality of control device modules.
