Align color and Depth/IR images in Kinect

Did you mean align your signature to the middle?

If that is the case, you can go to Settings & Preferences -> Forum preference-->signature. Right click at the box, choose "insert/edit image", fill in the URL image link.

Preview and double click on the image and click "align center" button on the icon next to "select text color" the one with the letter A on it. Save and that should do it.

EDIT: You could get an IR extension cable: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/oneguide-live-tv/use-external-ir-with-xbox-one

Original Post:

The Xbox One S and X models have the Infrared Blaster built in, as Microsoft decided to make Kinect an optional accessory.

Since the original Xbox One initially came bundled with Kinect, the console didn't need an additional IR Blaster built in. The Kinect had an IR emitter already for the depth measuring, so it made sense to put the IR blaster into Kinect.

So without Kinect, the original Xbox One can't control your A/V equipment.

Hi Ian, what's the make and model of your STB?

When you look at Kinect, do you see the 3 really bright IR depth lights in the middle?

I've found some comparisons of the two Kinects, but still nothing on physical dimensions:

.

Nex gen Kinect
Field of View: 70˚ horizontal by 60˚ vertical

Resolvable Depth: 0.8 m -> 4.0 m

Colour Stream: 1920 x 1080 x 16 bpp 16:9 YUY2 @ 30 fps

Depth Stream: 512 x 424 x 16 bpp, 13-bit depth

Infrared Stream: 512 x 424, 11-bit dynamic range

Registration: Colour <-> depth and active IR

Audio Capture: 4-mic array returning 48K Hz audio

Data Path: USB 3.0

Latency: ~60 ms with processing

Tilt Motor: No tilt motor



Current gen Kinect
Field of View: 57.5˚ horizontal by 43.5˚ vertical

Resolvable Depth: 0.8 m -> 4.0 m (in fact the Kinect for Windows device can detect starting at 0.4 m)

Colour Stream: 640 x 480 x 24 bpp 4:3 RGB @ 30fps640 x 480 x 16 bpp 4:3 YUV @ 15fps

Depth Stream: 320 x 240 16 bpp, 13-bit depth (in fact this is 640×480 from the current Kinect for Windows SDK)

Infrared Stream: No IR stream (in fact this is accesible from the current Kinect for Windows SDK just not simultaneously with the video stream)

Registration: Color <-> depth

Audio Capture: 4-mic array returning 48 Hz audio

Data Path: USB 2.0

Latency: ~90 ms with processing

Tilt Motor: Vertical only

Hello Wrecker!

Here is some solutions from the support channel:

Make sure the Xbox is automatically detecting your TV

Go to System > Settings > Display
& sound > Video output. Under the Advanced column,
choose Video fidelity & overscan. In the Display column, ensure that Auto-detect (Recommended) is
selected. 4K isn't available when HDMI or DVI is manually selected.

Also there are more setup and help solutions to 4k and HDR here:

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply. I understand all the settings everything's fine my question was which video Fidelity to pick 8-bit or 10-bit for my particular TV which is a Samsung 10 bit panel hdr10 Plus some people have told me different things that I don't
believe are right so I'm trying to get the right answer. Should I set the (Video Fidelity) To "Color Depth "30 bits per pixel (10-bit)", If my 4K HDR10+ TV is a 10 bit panel? The default preset on Xbox One X is (24 bits
per pixel (8-bit) But you have a choice of the greater Color Bit Depth's of (10-bit) or (12-bit). Thank you to everyone who has input on this.🙂
