"Translation" Kinect studio is? New functions for the March SDK update

Kinect Application Development Support tooldescription of the function and usage of the "kinect studio". Because data can be recorded/regenerated，make development and debugging easier. Kinect SDK V2 Preview version ofThe RTM version is scheduled to be updated two or three times prior to release .，1th Update on March 27（March SDK Update), Willprovided toparticipants in the Developer Preview program. This section is an introduction to the March update. Kinect StudioThe so-called "kinect studio" is the development support tool provided by the Kinect app for developers. Kinect Studio, you can putdata such as "color" and "depth" are obtained from the Kinect and stored in files. Can be played through saved filesIfthe Kinect app 's source code doesn't make any special changes .，can accept data from the Kinect record to run. Through this"Record" and "Play" function，development of the Kinect app、debugging has become particularly easy. Kinect SDKV1also provides a"kinect studio"（later called，Kinect Studiov1),This update is forKinect SDKV2The preview version provides（later calledKinect StudioV2Preview Version）. This section focuses on the "kinect Studio V2 Preview Edition. Kinect Studio v2 PreviewAn introduction to the recording and playback sequence of the Kinect Studio v2 preview. The Kinect Studio v2 preview, as a tool in development, is slightly more complex to use, thanks to understanding. Record Order1 Create a folder to hold the data.

(Example: "kstudiohostservice.exe/d c:\clips"）. 5 Launch the Kinect Studio v2 Preview (KStudio.exe). 6 click the [Connect] button (in Figure 1, the upper-left corner of the lightning symbol), from green to red, and the Kinect V2 preview version of the connection is complete. 7 in[Live Control]tab selects the recorded data. 8 [record] button to start recording, stop recording with [Stop] button. If you stop recording, the files in the specified folder will be saved in xed format.

Kinect Studio v1, when the recorded data is transferred to the application regeneration, the K must beInectV1and PC connection. Kinect StudioV2Preview VersionEvenKinectV2Preview version is not connected to PC，the recorded datayou can also pass in the app to play.
Based on this, the data is pre-recorded, and developers can develop and debug applications even if they do not have a sensor-connected environment. For example, there is no sensor in place to debug, or a power supply environment without a sensor, which can be developed and debugged as long as there is an installed development environment PC.
SummaryAvailable through this update.Kinect Studio，The development and commissioning of the Kinect app is easy and should be made easier after the release of the official version. The next update is scheduled for April. April Update (April SDK update), which is a preview ofImplementAudio and interaction features. Specific content is scheduled to be reported by Microsoft developers to the conference "build 2014" (April 2 ~ 4th).
Once the Kinect SDK V2 preview version hasPublicupdated, this series will add a new feature introduction.
