Matching Kinect Audio with Video

Question

I have a project dealing with video conferencing using the Kinect (or, more likely, four of them). Right now, my company uses these stupidly expensive cameras for our VTC rooms.

Answer 1

I have had a look at the SDK documentation and it is not great in all honesty. Further more I do not have any Kinect devices to test this on.

The first thing I would do thou is to create an output list of all useful property values for each device, then I would start to look for matches across the two that look like they can be used for links. For each one I find, I would test to see if it does the job.

So I would have a simple console application to output the following property values:

For Each AudioDeviceInfo

• DeviceID = X
• DeviceIndex = X
• DeviceName = X

For Each KinectAudioSource

• MicrophoneIndex = X

For Each Runtime

• InstanceIndex = X

then look for any matches in values. Nothing else in the SDK seems really useful. But there must be internal logic to the SDK when it return arrays of AudioDeviceInfo and Runtime.

Anyway, I hope you get it right somehow
