The [Femto Mega](https://www.orbbec.com/products/tof-camera/femto-mega/) is an RGB-D camera by Orbbec that serves as spiritual successor to Microsoft's Kinect cameras (with added PoE). It supports colour and depth images in either a wide field of view with a shorter range, or a narrow field-of-view for higher clarity and longer range.

### Device Properties

- **Acquisition Mode**: choose between creating an XYZRGB point cloud by incorporating the colour camera, or an XYZ cloud using only the depth sensor. A larger field of view can be used if the colour sensor is ignored.

- **Conversion Mode**: choose between depth to colour (D2C) or colour to depth (C2D) conversion. D2C might be suitable if detailed colour information is desired (e.g. to capture faces at a distance), but C2D is fine for most use-cases, and provides more accurately mapped edges of subjects.

- **Color Resolution**: pixel resolution of incoming color frames.
13
- **Depth Resolution**: pixel resolution of incoming depth frames. The `320x288` and `640x576` resolutions use the narrow field of view, and the `512x512` and `1024x1024` resolutions use the wide field of view.
