...But we experienced other issues...when connecting multiple Kinects to a single USB 3.0 controller...
Sorry, don't mean to hi-jack this thread but this comment sparked a question.
I had assumed that dual Kinect 2 required separate USB 3 controllers, one for each device. Is it actually
possible to have multiple Kinect 2 sensors working at maximum framerate on a single USB 3.x controller?
As you know, I wasn't able to get
dual Kinect 2 to work on the single onboard USB 3.1 controller in my laptop but, then, I wasn't able to make dual work on the laptop even with a USB 3.0 expresscard added. But I was wondering if this might work on my desktop...that is, connecting two Kinect 2 sensors to the on-board USB 3.1 controller and one (or possibly two sensors) on the USB 3.0 PCI card?
I guess it doesn't hurt to try. If I can make time for a test this evening, I'll report the results. Just asking here in case you already have an answer for this.
BTW, I received a USB 3.1 (NEC) card for the desktop this weekend. I'll swap it out with the old USB 3.0 card in the desktop tonight. Hopefully this card is also compatible and, maybe more importantly, compatible with dual sensors. I imagine if dual sensors on a single controller has any chance of working, it will be with a USB 3.1 controller, not 3.0.
