Status of Python Multiprocessing Support for ZED X

Software Python

Hello,

From older threads around 2023–2024, it seems that the ZED X camera had a known bug related to the use of Python’s multiprocessing module.

I’m currently working with the multiple ZED X mini in Python and need to use multiprocessing for
parallel data capture/processing. Before investing more time, I wanted to check:

  1. Has the multiprocessing bug related to ZED X camera been resolved as of 2026?
  2. If so, in which SDK version was this fixed?
  3. Are there any updated best practices or examples for using Multiprocessing with ZED X in Python?

Thank you in advance for any updates or insights!

Best regards,
Ryu

Hi @Myzhar
Thank you for your reply.
The threads I was referring to are listed below. Based on the first one, I understood that a workaround had been identified for the ZED 2i, but no solution had been found for the ZED X at that time.
