Sync a RS array to a non-RS RGB camera

I'm interested in known methods for syncing (either timestamp/metadata or hardware) a RS-array to one or more non-RS RGB cameras.

Hello, how are RS camera and RGB camera connected?

Hi @majinsoft As mentioned above by @bss-evc - timestamps can be used to sync a RealSense camera with a non-RealSense camera, #2186 has more information about this.

Alternatively, you can use externally controlled sync to have a non-RealSense RGB camera act as a 'master' that a RealSense camera synchronizes with as a 'slave' that follows the RGB camera's timing. There is not a documented example of setting up such an arrangement though, unfortunately.
