Hi everyone,
I'm developing software using multiple Kinect cameras (up to 6) and I have run into USB bandwidth issues. It seems that each Kinect camera needs its own USB 2.0 controller in order to provide enough bandwidth. I have tested this with the 2 controllers that come with my motherboard (one feeding the front ports and the other feeding the back. Two Kinects on one controller doesn't work but one on each does.)
Does anyone know of any PCI (or PCI-e) USB controller expansion slots that have MULTIPLE USB controllers on them? I don't have room for 4 additional expansion cards... although I'm not sure such a product exists. (Or, are there any high throughput USB2.0 controllers that could maybe support two kinects? USB3.0 is not supported.)
Thanks!
