Azure-kinect-sensor-sdk: Any PCIe USB expansion cards with powered USB C and dedicated controllers per port

[MaxPalmer-UH]

You can find PCIe USB 3 cards that have one dedicated controller per point, but these all have a USB A connector. Are there any that have a powered UCB C connector with one controller per port?

Are you asking for PCIe cards that support USB 3.1 Gen 1 power delivery?

[MaxPalmer-UH]

Yes, I guess. My understanding is that USB C ports are able to deliver power and data to the Kinect, but that these ports need to meet the power requirements (which presumably most don't). The advantage of that is that you only need one cable from the host to the Kinect. However, I haven't seen expansion cards (with dedicated controllers) with multiple powered USB C ports on them. They are usually a mix with mainly USB A that can't deliver the power. I presume there aren't USB A cards that can meet the power requirements and you have to provide power separately?

I have not tested this card, but it looks promising: https://www.delock.com/produkt/90308/merkmale.html

Thanks, this looks really good.

@tim-depthkit did you get this card in the end? Did it work?

[tim-depthkit]

@nick-cr I have not yet, but one of our customers has one is is going to test it. I'll post back here once I hear about the results.

Looking forward to hearing how this goes Tim
