Is it possible to run a depth stream AND a colour stream simultaneously off the same camera device via code?

Hi,

I'm currently testing with the D415 Realsense camera and C++ on Visual Studio with both the RealSense and OpenCV libraries and I was just wondering if there was any way to run both a depth stream and a colour stream simultaneously off the same device without any problems.

If this is indeed possible, are there any examples of how this could be done?

Thanks in advance!

There is no problem at all with having a simultaneous depth stream and colour stream. RealSense SDK 2.0 has an example program in C++ called 'rs-capture' that displays a depth and colour stream side by side.

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/tree/master/examples/capture

In the RealSense SDK 2.0 folder, you can also find a pre-built executable version of rs-capture in the folder location Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 > Tools
