Recommended Method for Stable 1080p+ Front Camera Capture (No AR Rendering)

General
1

Hi,

I need to capture high-resolution (1080p or higher) video from the front camera on Magic Leap 2 with a stable frame rate (30fps+ with minimal fluctuation). No AR rendering or mixed reality is required—just the raw camera feed.

Given this setup, which method is more reliable and stable for my use case?

Has anyone compared their performance in terms of resolution stability and FPS consistency?

Environment:

  • Magic Leap OS: 1.12.0
  • Host: Windows 10

Thanks for your help!

Hey @yanghouze,

I don’t have any benchmarks for this that I can share, but I can say that just real world camera capture at 30fps+ with any configuration should be feasible for you.

Here’s some specs on what resolutions and what frame rates are supported for each camera stream that the Magic Leap 2 hardware offers:

Note that with higher resolution, more memory and processing power is required. As such, performance will degrade accordingly with each captured/saved frame.
For example, capturing 1080p @ 30fps will be more performant and reliable than 4k @ 30fps.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Best,
Corey
