    Need to be able to Disable the IR blaster on Kinect


    I have two identical TVs side by side, each with an Xbox One connected. When I use an IR blaster it functions as expected, but when Kinect is in the mix on one of the consoles it controls both televisions. Don't want to put tape over the emitter on the
    Kinect.

    :)

    Kinect renders 300$ headset useless...

    yeah, I don't have much of a choice. the Kinect 2.0 blasts a wall of ir light for reading, the Kinect 1.0 blasts a wall of dots for reading.

    The Kinect 2.0's ir is constantly flickering and the flickering matches the rumbling blasts intervals when I use the headset.

    I dot think there could ever be a solution.

    im able to see the ir light using the night vision on my camcorder .

    IR blaster setup?

    Hello,

    I recently bought an Xbox One without a Kinect and am trying to connect my tv, satellite box and audio receive through these IR blaster cables:

    http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Extender-Blaster-Cable-Head-Foot/dp/B00I47O26E

    I wasn't able to get the three components to turn on and off with the Xbox so I wasn't sure if I need an IR blaster with three heads? Also, I'm using the Xbox Smart Glass app. Will I be able to turn everything on/off with the app or do I need the Media
    Remote?

    Thanks!

    Xbox Does Not Turn on TV

    Hi, if it is an Original Xbox One you would need an IR blaster, like the one built into kinect. If it is an S or X the IR blaster is built in.

    The Kinect is an IR blaster.

    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.

    Yes the Kinect is an IR Blaster

    The Real Reason Your Controllers Disconnected

    It's not so much the actual camera seeing you it's more to do with the IR blaster on the Kinect and the IRs on the controller being out of sight. This is the way the One determines controller 1, 2, 3 and 4...even with 1 controller the Kinect likes to keep
    it in view of the IR blaster.
