Kinect + Projector environment: Cord length = Fail - Page 3

Well, the ones I tried did not work. I will have to try the $300 USB 2.0 ones next. USB 3.0 has been out a while, the price on this stuff should be dropping, but isn't.

I'm about to start our renovation project to frame and wire the future home theater. I'm not sure if I'll get the next Xbox, but wanted to wire for the possibility of using connect with the projector. Does anyone know if the next version will be USB connected? That would be easy to embed one of those in the wall for future use. Perhaps I'll do that and run an Ethernet cable along side it. Any suggestions?

the next Xbox will be USB 3.0 to ensure enough bandwidth for Kinect 2.0 and other peripherals.

I would run at least two CAT5E cables up there from your rack location. We just installed a Kinect using a Gefen USB extender over CAT5 and it worked great. No promises on the next xbox but it's a good bet that it will require more bandwidth. CAT5's cheap. Pull it.

Have not seen any verification that the required Kinect 2.0 in Xbox One will be USB 2.0 or 3.0. Since it comes with 3.0 ports, I'm worried. It isn't a matter of pulling cable to support it, there is no current way to extend USB 3.0 that I know of.

Since they are requiring it be used, maybe they will put some thought into this for projector users and make a wireless option or at least make it work over USB 2.0.

The xbox one has a dedicated kinect port: (third from the right)



Since one comes in every box, they'll probably never make a USB version. You'll have to buy a specific extender for kinect cables.

So what are the chances they come out with a USB 2.0 to 3.0 converter? Right now I have a powered 65ft USB cable running from my av closet to front of room coming out next to my screen But it's all behind the wall. Am i screwed ?
