After selecting the device node, a set of node properties will appear on the right side of the *Devices* window.

Under the *Stream* collapsible, you will see a list of all the RealSense cameras connected to your machine. To choose the specific camera you want to receive a stream from, simply click on it.

**Good to know**: The properties under the *Colonizer* section can be adjusted even after you start receiving the stream.
{% endhint %}

Finally, click on the **Receive** checkbox of the *RealSense camera receiver* node.

### Setup in Layer Layouts

To visualize the RealSense texture received in the *Devices* window, insert a **Read RealSense** node and select the correct **Realsense camera receiver device** in the *Input* pin of the *Read RealSense* node.
