Orbbec SDK
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 2024 October, Orbbec SDK becomes open-source with enhanced flexibility and scalability. This update 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 Orbbec SDK v2 (v2.x):

Note:
- If you do not find your device, please contact our FAE or sales representative for help.
- If a device is supported by both Orbbec SDK v1 and Orbbec SDK v2, the minimum supported firmware version may differ between the two SDKs. Please refer to Supported Devices list for detailed information.
In particular, note that the Astra Mini Pro and Astra Mini S Pro use different communication protocols in firmware v1.x.x and v2.x.x, Orbbec SDK v1 supports only v1.x.x firmware, while Orbbec SDK v2 supports only v2.x.x firmware. Upgrading from v1.x.x to v2.x.x, please refer to Upgrading from OpenNI Protocol to UVC Protocol.
Definition:
- recommended for new designs: we will provide full supports with new features, bug fix and performance optimization;
- full maintenance: we will provide bug fix support;
- limited maintenance: we will provide critical bug fix support;
- not supported: we will not support specific device in this version;
- to be supported: we will add support in the near future.

Getting started
Get source code
git clone https://github.com/orbbec/OrbbecSDK.git
Alternatively, you can install via binary packages, please refer to installation guidance for more information.
Environment setup
If you installed via a debian package, you can skip the installation of the udev rules file. If not, please install it using the following commands:
cd OrbbecSDK/misc/scripts
sudo chmod +x ./install_udev_rules.sh
sudo ./install_udev_rules.sh
sudo udevadm control --reload && sudo udevadm trigger
Examples
The sample code is located in the ./examples directory and can be built using CMake.
Build
cd OrbbecSDK && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --config Release
Run example
To connect your Orbbec camera to your PC, run the following steps:
cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
./OBMultiStream # OBMultiStream.exe on Windows
Notes: On MacOS, sudo privileges are required.
# MacOS
cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
cp ../../lib/macOS/* . # copy lib to output dir
sudo ./OBMultiStream
The following image is the result of running MultiStream on the Gemini2 device. Other Devices run result maybe different.
Notes:
On the Linux/Arm platform ,this sample requires users to compile with Opencv4.2 or above,otherwise, it cannot be rendered.
Use Orbbec SDK in your CMake project
