MCAP Recording

This example showcases the use of SDK to save to MCAP file format. The MCAP file contains color as well as both left and right mono cameras and their inferred depth map.

Note

Visualization in current example is done with blocking behavor. This means that the program will halt at oak.start() until the window is closed. This is done to keep the example simple. For more advanced usage, see Blocking behavior section.

Setup
