To answer this, you will need to know the exact format of the data that 
comes from your camera (in particular, whether it's just video, or 
video+audio multiplexed together), and how this data is accessed.  This 
depends on your operating system (and, of course, the device itself), and 
so is not something that we can help you with.

No, not necessarily.  You don't need a 'framer' filter (between the input 
source and the RTP sink) if the input source delivers discrete video frames 
(each time "getNextFrame()" is called on it).  If, however, the input 
source delivers chunks of ata that's not on frame boundaries, then you 
*will* need a 'framer' filter inbetween.
