Horizon 7 - Kinect?

Hi,

I am trying to connect a kinect camera, using real time but the camera is not recognized.

This camera is used with software to size the boxes in a transport company.

This is being done within a PoC.

When I connect the camera without USB redirection, the camera is not detected.

When I redirect USB the camera is detected but there is no image.

If I use the PC camera, it works.

I have checked the Horizon compatibility matrix but I am not sure if a kinect is inside or outside?

and what should be the form of connection if by USB or in real time?

I'm not sure a kinect would work. There is a real time audio and video feature that redirects some camera in to the client, but its generally webcams. I assume there is so much data following through kinect due to the multiple cameras it might not work in a virtual desktop. I could be wrong, I've never tried, but based on your testing I saw that when I was testing a webcam on a zero client. The webcam worked fine on a windows pc with an updated client, but the zero client and an outdated version of the rtav protocl they use and it worked just like you did.
