USB 3 could support 1280x720 @ 30fps, USB 2 only supports 640x480 @ 30fps.

Problems on Windows

Pyrealsense does not support Python 3.12 on Windows, so pip cannot find it.

Problems on macOS

On macOS, it can be installed by brew install librealsense. There are examples to run in the /usr/local/Cellar/librealsense/2.56.3/bin. And sudo is needed.

Can usepyrealsense2-macosx. Sudo needed.

When activate color stream, the frames doesn't arrive when running the code in the second time. Remove and insert the USB again can solve.
