Kinect for Windows v2 USB 3.0 System Requirements

Introduction

Kinect for Windows v2 (Kinect v2) is connected to a PC using a USB 3.0.
Kinect v2 is Intel or Renesas has specified a USB 3.0 Host Controller, it may not work in Host Controller made ​​by other manufacturers.
In this article, to the question of
"whether to operate if specifically which products?", Will introduce summarizes the USB 3.0 Host Controller with operation check information.Note 1
Note 1: It is not all the USB 3.0 Host Controller and USB 3.0 Extension Card to ensure that it works. It is also possible that operational requirements are changed.


USB 3.0 Chipset Support Information

Kinect v2 is Intel or Renesas will only work with the USB 3.0 Host Controller.

SUPPORT MAKER

  • Intel
  • Renesas

NOT SUPPORT MAKER

  • Texas Instrumentals (TI)
  • ASMedia
  • Etron
  • VLI


Operation has been confirmed products

It summarizes the specific products that operation check information.

IUSB 3.0 (CPU INTERNAL)

  • Intel CPU (after IvyBridge) USB 3.0 Chipset
  • (Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controler)
IvyBridge later of Intel CPU is to have built-in USB 3.0 Host Controller.
Kinect v2 works by connecting to the USB 3.0 Port this Host Controller is managing.

DUSB 3.0 (PCI-EX. GEN.2 EXPANSION CARD)

  • Transcend TS-PDU3
  • (Renesas μPD720200)
  • Professional-oriented USB3.0N4-PCIe
  • (Renesas μPD720200)
Even if the corresponding USB 3.0 Port of Kinect v2 on your PC is not, you can add more USB 3.0 Port to the PC to refer to USB 3.0 expansion card in PCI-Express Gen.2.
The product, which was mentioned as an example there is information that the operation of the Kinect v2 has been confirmed. Note 2 Note 3
I actually Transcend TS-PDU3 and you will have a running Kinect v2.
USB 3.0 expansion card, PCI-Express Gen.2 × 4 ~ 16 Lane is plugged into, to the cardauxiliary power supply , please supply also.
In addition, instead of Renesas Driver, Microsoft Default Driver Please install.
In USB 3.0 hub has a built-in Host Controller.
Operation it would be better to use a USB 3.0 hub that has been confirmed. 

SUMMARY

Looking at the trend of USB 3.0 Host Controller, which has been confirmed these operations, of Renesas MyuPD720200 or μPD720202 it seems that there is a high possibility that operates Kinect v2 is if the USB 3.0 expansion cards that have adopted.
Which Host Controller is installed in the USB 3.0 expansion cards are well organized on the following pages.
Since the Host Controller is often not described in manufacturer's specifications table of the expansion card, it tells you how to do the selection.
In addition, recruitment information of USB 3.0 expansion card the operation of the Kinect v2 has been confirmed we are.


System Verifier

From kinect SDK v2 Public Preview 1408 Kinect v2 Configuration Verifier includes system verification tool called.
This your PC in the tool can be sure you meet the operational requirements of the Kinect v2.
However, since the USB Controller is sometimes × mark despite the operation is displayed, it is a good idea you stick only to about one guideline.
Kinect v2 Configuration Verifier


Troubleshooting

If the Kinect v2 is not recognized correctly, you might want to first try to confirm the following points.
Also in Forum In addition to this Troubleshooting because are summarized, you might want to see when Kinct v2 does not work.
  • Of Kinect v2 operating requirements make sure it meets the.
  • In particular OS (Windows 8 ~), GPU (DirectX 11 Supported), USB 3.0 (Intel or Renesas Chipset) will be with the essential requirements.
  • USB 3.0 expansion card, please insert in x4 ~ 16 Lane of PCI Express Gen.2.
  • When the plug in to PCI Express Gen.1 and × 1 Lane there is a possibility that the bandwidth of USB 3.0 is insufficient.
  • Please supply the auxiliary power to the USB 3.0 expansion card.
  • USB 3.0 expansion card does not work, there is a possibility that the bandwidth of USB 3.0 is insufficient.
  • Please do not use PCI to PCI-Express of the Bridge is on-board USB 3.0 expansion card (expansion card to insert in the PCI slot) is.
  • The bandwidth of USB 3.0 might be insufficient.
  • Driver of USB 3.0 Host Controller, please use the Microsoft of the Default Driver.
  • Renesas may not recognized by the Driver of.

Reference

For programming of Kinect v2 has been serialized commentary article in the Japanese at Build Insider.
Because where more detailed commentary also around the world, please have a look.
