# Capture Stream Example This example demonstrates the following: - How to initialize esp_video with specific parameters - How to open video device and capture data stream from this device ## How to use example ### Hardware Required * A ESP32-P4 development board with MIPI-CSI interface * A SC2336 camera sensor * A USB Type-C cable for power supply and programming ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the [ESP-IDF Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32p4/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output Running this example, you will see the following log output on the serial monitor: ``` ...
