1. A system to display camera video, the system comprising:
- a display controller comprising a hardware layer;
a processor; and
a memory comprising instructions executable with the processor, the instructions comprising;
a display driver configured to initialize the display controller;
a camera module configured to receive a video stream from a camera; and
a graphics system configured to cause graphics to be displayed through the display controller, wherein the camera module and the display driver are configured to start up before startup of the graphics system completes, and wherein the camera module is further configured to provide the video stream to the hardware layer during and after the startup of the graphics system.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for playing a media stream while a media system starts up. Media hardware, such as a display controller, may play media. A media driver may initialize the media hardware. A media module may receive the media stream from a media source. The media module and the display driver may start up before startup of the media system completes. The media module may provide the media stream directly or indirectly to the media hardware before and after startup of the media system completes without an interruption in playing of the media stream.
