Describe the bug
I run Azure_Kinect_ROS_Driver in my laptop locally and it works well.
However, when I run the ros master node in a remote machine, connect my laptop with remote machine with wire , still connect kinect with my laptop and launch the kinect, error present.
When I set the depth_unit as 32FC1 , I got
[ERROR] [1692888908.917343914]: Compressed Image Transport - PNG compression requires 8/16-bit encoded color format (input format is: 32FC1)
[ERROR] [1692888908.917822999]: cv_bridge exception: '[32FC1] is not a color format. but [bgr8] is. The conversion does not make sense'
When I set the depth_unit as 16UC1, I got
ERROR] [1692889861.851759845]: cv_bridge exception: '[16UC1] is not a color format. but [bgr8] is. The conversion does not make sense'
[ERROR] [1692889870.630862864]: Compressed Depth Image Transport - Compression requires single-channel 32bit-floating point or 16bit raw depth images (input format is: bgra8).
Then image related topic publish speed become really slower.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
run roscore remote computer, and set correct ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_IP in local laptop, connect local laptop and remote computer with a network cable
launch my camera drive launch file (which would be attached in Additional context part).
see error.
try see image related topic in RViz, and observe lagging.
