# Camera Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70022-50/topic/camera.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70022-50/topic/camera.html) The Qualcomm IM SDK camera plugin, camsrc, acts as a client to the Qualcomm camera service. The camera use cases show the execution and display of the 1080p YUV streams from a live source. For more information about the camera plugin, see [camera architecture](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70022-50/topic/architecture.html#camera). Before running the use case, ensure that you complete the preconditions mentioned in [GStreamer command-line use cases](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70022-50/topic/gstreamer-application-use-cases.html). ### Single 1080p YUV stream from live source Run the use case on the target device: gst-launch-1.0 -e qtiqmmfsrc name=camsrc video_1::type=preview ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt601 ! waylandsink fullscreen=true sync=falseCopy to clipboard The content from the camera stream is displayed. To stop the use case, use CTRL + C. The following pipeline shows a single 1080p stream taken from the camera and sent to display. camsrc waylandsink Open source ### Three 720 YUV streams from live source Run the use case on the target device: gst-launch-1.0 -e qtivcomposer name=mixer sink_0::position="<0, 0>" sink_0::dimensions="<480, 270>" sink_1::position="<480, 0>" sink_1::dimensions="<480, 270>" sink_2::position="<960, 0>" sink_2::dimensions="<480, 270>" mixer. ! queue ! waylandsink fullscreen=true qtiqmmfsrc name=camsrc camera=0 video_0::type=preview video_1::type=video ! video/x-raw,format=NV12_Q08C,width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt601 ! queue ! mixer. camsrc. ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt601 ! queue ! mixer. camsrc. ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1,interlace-mode=progressive,colorimetry=bt601 ! queue ! mixer.Copy to clipboard The content from camera streams is displayed. To stop the use case, use CTRL + C. Note: With the GMSL camera, it's been observed that the display doesn't work and the use case doesn't stop when using CTRL + C. The following pipeline shows three 720p streams taken from the camera and sent to display with each stream displayed at different positions on the screen. camsrc waylandsink waylandsink waylandsink Open source ### Request many streams with different fps from camera Run the following use cases on the target device: - Two streams with capture request mode at 30 fps/15 fps: gst-launch-1.0 -e --gst-debug=fpsdisplaysink:6 qtiqmmfsrc name=qmmf frc-mode=capture-request video_0::type=video video_1::type=preview ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! fpsdisplaysink name=disp1 signal-fps-measurements=true text-overlay=false video-sink="fakesink" qmmf. ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=15/1 ! fpsdisplaysink name=disp2 signal-fps-measurements=true text-overlay=false video-sink="fakesink"Copy to clipboard - Two streams with capture request mode at 17 fps/10 fps: gst-launch-1.0 -e --gst-debug=fpsdisplaysink:6 qtiqmmfsrc name=qmmf frc-mode=capture-request video_0::type=video video_1::type=preview qmmf.video_0 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=17/1 ! fpsdisplaysink name=disp1 signal-fps-measurements=true text-overlay=false video-sink="fakesink" qmmf.video_1 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=10/1 ! fpsdisplaysink name=disp2 signal-fps-measurements=true text-overlay=false video-sink="fakesink"Copy to clipboard Note: This use case isn't supported in the current release. - Two streams with capture request mode at 5 fps/25 fps: The smaller frame rate is processed first and the camera updates the frame rate on the second stream. gst-launch-1.0 -e --gst-debug=fpsdisplaysink:6 qtiqmmfsrc name=qmmf frc-mode=capture-request video_0::type=video video_1::type=preview qmmf.video_0 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=5/1 ! fpsdisplaysink name=disp1 signal-fps-measurements=true text-overlay=false video-sink="fakesink" qmmf.video_1 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=25/1 ! fpsdisplaysink name=disp2 signal-fps-measurements=true text-overlay=false video-sink="fakesink"Copy to clipboard ### Set sensor mode Set the sensor mode in the camsrc plugin: export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0 && gst-launch-1.0 qtiqmmfsrc camera=0 name=camsrc sensor-mode=0 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! multifilesink enable-last-sample=false location="/opt/frame%d.yuv" max-files=5Copy to clipboard For `sensor-mode=
