Run iPi Recorder and make sure that there are two items “MS Kinect Sensor (OpenNI)” in “Camera Selector” dialog:
Select both items “MS Kinect Sensor (OpenNI)” and press “Ok” button. As a result you should see something like this:
Make sure that you can see correct colored “depth video” from both sensors and
- that you can change motor position for each sensor using appropriate slider and “Motor of” combobox
- that you can switch between RGB and “depth” video using “View RGB/Depth” button
- that actual frame rate is 30 fps (or 29.9) and frames drop is in range from 0 to 5 for each sensor
- Note that values of Tilt and Roll are updated with a time lag. During recording these values cannot be updated assuming that in this case sensor should be static.
