Kinnect v2 adaptator --- question

Question

Hello,

I'm working on a personal project of mocap with a kinnect v2 camera.

I read that an adaptator is needed in order to plug it on my pc, so i bought one on line.

It doesn't work since kinnect is not even starting (no light on the camera which is not detected)

I have two questions :

1/ For those who have usb 3 comptability problems, is your kinnect 2 detected by windows even if there is an usb problem ?

2/ someone knows a good kinnect to pc adatator to buy (a lot on amazon but i doubt of the quality)

thanx for your help

Answer 1

You need the kinect for Windows v2 adapter. It's the official one. Make sure it's the v2 since that's the corresponding version of the adapter that works with the Kinect v2(Xbox One) sensor.

If it doesn't work with that, then you can look for a PCI express USB3 board perhaps(don't know which one, you can search in the forum for threads concerning that.
