HI
I'm using the last version BREKEL KINECT PRO BODY V 2.18
Official licensed version
Installed on Saturday
1-when I check the version it shows that is installed the previous version 2.17
Well so far without problems but ...
This is exactly what should show?

But,  the real problem that's happening is when I try to synchronize the three items

"Synchronize Streams"
Tries to synchronize the Color, Infrared and Depth streams


The software just freeze and crash
And asks to make a debug

Does anyone else have problem like this?

Does anyone have any hints?


Thanks

Brekel

Hi,

Sorry about the version mixup.
A few minor things were done in v2.18 with the installer, renaming of the Unity script and MoBu 2016 Beta plugis.
Unfortunately the installer got rolled out with v2.17 of the base application which is why the version check gets things wrong.

I've currently rolled back to v2.17 on the download page since I am running in and out of the hospital for a close family member.
I'll will soon re-release v2.18 correctly.


The 'Synchronize Streams' option indeed can cause problems on some machines when it's switched on at runtime and tries to find a synchronization point.
But actually in practice it wouldn't make any difference to tracking quality anyway.

The body tracker only needs the depth frame so even if the color frame would arrive one frame later or earlier it doesn't affect tracking.
The face tracker does reference the color frame and therefore internally it turns synchronization on at startup.

Actually I thought I removed the button from the Body GUI a while ago but apparently I didn't :)

In fact turning 'Synchronize Streams' on can negatively affect the Body tracker in some cases.

When the color camera automatically switches to 15fps long exposure mode when it detects low light levels it will synchronize the depth stream to 15fps as well.
Effectively dropping the skeleton tracking to 15fps as well instead of the normal 30fps.
