'html', 'KinectForWindows');

addpath(utilpath);

vid1 = videoinput('kinect',1); % RGB camera

vid2 = videoinput('kinect',2); % Depth camera

srcColor = getselectedsource(vid1);

srcDepth = getselectedsource(vid2);

vid1.FramesPerTrigger = 1;

vid2.FramesPerTrigger = 1;

vid1.TriggerRepeat = fnum;

vid2.TriggerRepeat = fnum;

triggerconfig([vid1 vid2],'manual');

start([vid1 vid2]);

% Trigger both objects. trigger([vid1 vid2]) % Get the acquired frames and metadata. [imgColorAll, ts_colorAll, metaData_ColorAll] = getdata(vid1); [imgDepthAll, ts_depthAll, metaData_DepthAll ] = getdata(vid2);
