Intel RealSense Depth Camera Manager SR300

Unlike its predecessor, the Intel RealSense SR300 camera came with numerous improvements. Not only did users get 2x faster gesture speed and 60% better range, but the gadget includes a considerable reduction in standby power and a significant enhancement in depth and RGB latency.

As the name suggests, the Intel RealSense Depth Camera Manager SR300 is a utility designed to bring better support and extend the capabilities of the gadget. The tool consists of two main components, namely a 3D camera virtual driver and a manager service. The first feature permits non-SDK applications to access camera streams in a way that emulates a direct connection to the camera, whereas the latter option enables you to run multiple SDK apps to run simultaneously from the camera.

It is important to note that while you can run as many SDK applications as you want, you can solely operate a single non-SDK app from the camera. Nevertheless, thanks to the Depth Camera Manager, you can be certain that the applications run together smoothly without blocking each other.

The utility requires you connect your device via a dedicated USB3 port within your system. While you might be tempted to employ a hub for the connection, you should know that there is a good chance that it is not capable of supporting the bandwidth needed by the camera.
