What we need to prepare for this show is: a Firefly-RK3288, two USB cameras (Support MJPEG), and 5.5-inch display module or LCD monitor.

Firstly , we connect two USB cameras to the Firefly-RK3288 development board.

Into the application list, open the MultiCodecs.

In MultiCodecs video screen，the Preview 1 on the upper left corner is the preview of the first USB camera， It gets MJPEG data from the USB camera, then , converts MJPEG data into YUV data and previews display. and the Preview 2 is the preview of the YUV data converted from another USB camera.
