Just Got Eddie today and not sure witch Kinect camera is supported by RDS4. There are two on the market one for x box and one for Windows. My guess would be the one for Windows but that's could be a $200.00 mistake if I'm wrong.
????

Thanks Blake

    FYI

    If anyone whats to know there appears to be almost no difference between the Microsoft Kinect and the Xbox Kinect. As I read into it the Microsft version has a few more features like close range focus 1.3 feet and is intended for comertial application but cannot be used on Xbox. So I guess it really does not matter which unit this Eddie gets.

    Guessing... The Microsoft Kinect came out after XBox version. Non-XBox version was intended to be used devices such as PCs etc. When the XBox version hit the market there was a race to hack it for use outside of the XBox; at the time not officially supported for non-XBox use. After some time Microsoft released the non-XBox version with SDKs and official support beyond XBox.

    Also there is a new version of the XBox coming out with a refreshed Kinect - I haven't reviewed the specs much. Would be interesting to see if that Kinect will be available outside of the 'Xbox One' bundle for use with RDS?

    For certain the XBOX version works with Eddie.
