How do you access both camera sensors of the Bumblebee2 camera?

Hi
I am currently using the Bumblebee2 stereo camera with the CMU driver which is compatible with MATLAB's image acquisition toolbox. I am trying to capture two images of a scene using both the right and left cameras of the Bumblebee2, however the image acquisition tool only allows me to access one camera.
Does anyone know how I can access the other camera?

I haven't used the BumbleBee2, but the BumbleBee camera would return the data from both sensors as a single image. If each sensor was 1024x768, the camera would show up as a single camera with a resolution of 2048x768. Once you acquired the image, you could separate it into left and right images in MATLAB.

Hi David
Thank you for your response. I actually found the solution to the problem. I installed the Point Grey drivers and thereafter I was able to access each camera individually and save the images.

Hi Sarisha
I have the same problem with you, and I have installed the pointgrey adaptor from the support package installer, but I still cannot figure out how to access each sensor invidually, could you help me with it? Many thanks.
