Hi, Adam,

 Thanks a lot for the response. I spent some time researching how to write
the pipeline, but I couldn't find much. I attach the output of both
commands. None of them worked. I keep getting an internal data flow error.
Do you think this could be some hardware-related issue? I can see the cam
turning on and then off after it fails.

 Thanks again for the help.

 Luis Galeana.
