Important
Welcome to the Orbbec SDK. Before you begin using this version of Orbbec SDK, it's crucial to check the following device support list to verify the compatibility.
This main branch is based on Orbbec SDK v1 and it is compatible with Orbbec's original OpenNI protocol devices through built-in code, enabling developers to migrate to Orbbec SDK to support both new and old products with one set of code.
With the major update in a new branch v2-main in 2024 October, Orbbec SDK becomes open-source with enhanced flexibility and scalability. This update in v2-main ensures compatibility with all new Orbbec USB products that adhere to the UVC standard. However, Orbbec SDK v2 no longer supports Orbbec's legacy OpenNI protocol devices, which will continue to receive bug fixes support in the Orbbec SDK v1 branch. We encourage you to check out whether your devices is supported by Orbbec SDK v2 and use the new release if it is supported there.
If you are a user in China, it is recommended to use Gitee(gitee Repo).
Here is the device support list of main branch (v1.x) and v2-main branch (v2.x):

cd OrbbecSDK && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --config ReleaseTo connect your Orbbec camera to your PC, run the following steps:
cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
./OBMultiStream # OBMultiStream.exe on WindowsNotes: On MacOS, sudo privileges are required.
# MacOS
cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
cp ../../lib/macOS/* . # copy lib to output dir
sudo ./OBMultiStreamThe following image is the result of running MultiStream on the Gemini2 device. Other Devices run result maybe different.

Insufficient Power Supply:
- Ensure that all cameras are not connected to the same hub.
- Use a powered hub to provide sufficient power to each camera.
High Resolution:
- Try lowering the resolution to resolve data stream issues.
Increase usbfs_memory_mb Value:
- Increase the
usbfs_memory_mbvalue to 128MB by running the following command:echo 128 | sudo tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb
