Hey all,

I’m currently researching ways to connect 4 kinects to 1 system. I am aware that kinects are very dependant on USB bus bandwidth (utilizing 175Mb/s) so i aimed for 4 USB controllers in my system:

The system i use has 2 usb 2.0 controllers on its motherboard by default.
I added 1 extra USB 2.0 controller through PCI, and 1 extra USB 3.0 controller through USB-xpress.

As soon as i connect a Kinect through one of these extra USB controllers the following happens:

the capture feed is scrambled, and after a few seconds the app crashes. This happens with both the USB 2.0 and the 3.0 controllers.
The onboard USB controllers work flawlessly, having no issue picking up 2 kinects simultaneously.

Is anyone familiar with connecting Kinect through PCI ? Are there certain brands of controllers i should look out for ? What am i missing here ? Thanks in advance everyone!

It’d be nice if admins and mods would actually address the problem rather than not saying anything at all. This software is a piece of junk, going to look for another…
