There are methods to get and to change those parameters. Here is an example:


                // First, get a proxy on the video input module if you haven't already done it.
                ALPtr<ALProxy> cameraProxy = getParentBroker()->getProxy( "ALVideoDevice" );

                // Now you are able to get the value of any parameter.
                int BrightnessValue = ( cameraProxy->call<int>( "getParam", kCameraBrightnessID ) );

                //You can change any parameter's value with the following method.
                cameraProxy->callVoid( "setParam", kCameraHueID, -130);
