pairing Azure Kinects with Orbbec System. #115338

Hello, Now that the Azure Kinect has been discontinued, it seems that Orbbec is taking the lead in developing cameras. Instead of throwing my existing Azure Kinects away, I am trying to better understand how to go about synchronizing the existing cameras into An Orbbec System. Their Cameras have a 8 pin connector, and they suggest that there is a way to adapt the cables to allow older cameras to slave with their older system. Given a TRS plug shown on your main page, can I pair a particular combination of these pin with the pin definition provided below to allow synchronizing this camera with the alternate system? Thank you!

Multi-Camera Sync Hub pin definition, applicable to both Multi-Camera Sync Hub Pro and Multi-Camera Sync Hub Dev. Pin Definition Function Pin_1 SYNC_VCC • Input Continuous Voltage Level Signal • I/O Voltage Level Setup Signal: The I/O voltage level for the 8-Pin low-speed interface is pre-set to default at 1.8V. When the hub is provided with a 5V supply, this I/O level can be adjusted to either 3.3V or 5V to improve signal stability. Pin_2 GPIO_OUT • Output Pulse Signal • Synchronization Drive Signal: IR exposure synchronization signal; commonly used to drive external supplementary lights. Pin_3 VSYNC_OUT • Output Pulse Signal • Synchronization Trigger Signal: Used to trigger subsequent devices with a programmable delay. Pin_4 TIMER_SYNC_OUT • Output Pulse Signal • Hardware Timestamp Reset Signal: Used to reset the hardware timestamp of subsequent secondary devices. Pin_5 RESET_IN • Input Pulse Signal • Camera Hard Reset Signal: Used to trigger the camera to power off and automatically reset upon power on. Pin_6 VSYNC_IN • Input Pulse Signal • Synchronization Trigger Signal: A synchronous data collection trigger signal sent from preceding devices. Pin_7 TIMER_SYNC_IN • Input & Pulse Signal • Hardware Timestamp Reset Signal: A command to reset hardware timestamp sent from preceding devices. Pin_8 GND • Input/Output & Continuous Level Signal • Ground Signal

Thank you, Did you mean to delegate this to someone else, or is there someone on the team with the same name as the op?
