The simplest way to connect a legacy, instances based, device is to call AddManagedDeviceInstance to register a managed instance or AddMonitoredDeviceInstance for a monitored instance.  Both calls take the BNCS Instance ID as their primary parameter.

 

In the case of a Managed registration, various optional parameters within the method provide control over registration of the device with the NMOS IS-04 Registry.  

 

Individual parameter objects can be retrieved using the GetInstanceParameter method passing the InstanceID and ParameterName of the desired parameter.  The return value will either be a null or an object implementing IBNCSInstanceParameter.  Note that GetInstanceParameter returns a clone of the parameter rather than the original object by default.
