We are trying to use a UVC camera on Android with Video SDK 2.1.11.  
We are experiencing connection issues with the hardware, and to troubleshoot the problem, we would like to understand how the camera is being accessed.  
Within the SDK, is the Android API used for accessing the camera camera2 or cameraX?
