Hi,
I'm trialing ipiSoft with 2 Kinects and I have a really weird problem. I'm getting a "grey stripe" of missing data across one of the cameras when I open the AVI created by the ipiRecorder in ipi Studio.
It looks like this:
The grey stripe stays there throughout the recording. In every recording it's a different thickness or in a different place vertically in the frame but it's almost always there and always stretches across the frame left to right. It always runs at the same slight diagonal angle ascending from left to right. Sometimes it's on camera 1, sometimes camera 2. It makes calibration impossible.
It isn't a problem with the computer running ipi Recorder - I've tried 2 different computers. I don't think it's electrical interference in the Kinect cables - I've tried moving the Kinects around. I've tried capturing without recording the RGB and the stripe still appears in the depth data.
When I play the AVI in Windows Media Player it looks fine and the stripe isn't visible.
I have no problems when I use just 1 Kinect - it only happens when I use 2 Kinects.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on all my computers. This was recorded on a core 2 Quad Q9400 running @2.66Ghz with 8GB of RAM.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? This is driving me crazy! :(
Thanks,
John
