Video Streaming

The board presents the camera as a standard UVC device, so any UVC-capable application can open the stream.

Windows

View the video using any of the following:

ApplicationHow to open the stream
VLCMedia → Open Capture Device → select the UVC camera
Windows Camera appSwitch to the FX3 CAMERA device
Linux

The device is detected as /dev/videoX, where X is the video node number — see Getting Started to identify it on your host.

To preview the stream:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/videoX ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

Replace videoX with the node reported under the FX3 CAMERA entry.

Reconnecting the USB Cable

Warning

If the USB cable is disconnected while the board is streaming, video does not resume when it is reconnected. Switch the 12 V supply off and on again to restore the stream.
