Direct phone number to ask questions?

Hi! Is there a direct phone number you can call to get pre-sales support for the Azure Kinect DK? We're looking at possibly incorporating the camera into hardware we manufacturer but we have some technical questions. All the support numbers we received from the webpage and calling support were unhelpful.

I've called:
866-425-4709
800-867-1389
800-936-5800
800-425-1865

Each time, regardless of whether the person I speak with is in sales or tech support, they tell me they can't help me with Azure and transfer me to someone at Azure. Then the Azure person says they can't help me with tech support and details about the product and they then transfer me to someone else who is in sales or tech support for Microsoft products but not Azure hardware. Or they transfer me to a busy signal that hangs up on me.

I've also reached out to Azure and Azure support on twitter. They told me to make this post and they'd "escalate it internally to get it some visibility."

Thanks!

JF

    We have added the documentation links where we can find answers to most of the questions.

    • What is the resolution (px) for the video camera?
    Depth camera supported operating modes
    • What is the frame rate (or if it's variable, what frame rates can it run)?
    Color camera supported operating modes
    • What is the video output signal? Does it operate on a specific codec?
    Azure Kinect DK recorder
    • What type of power is it consuming (watts, amps, volts)? What is the type and configuration of the power supply?
    Power consumption
    • What type of microphones are being used? Can they be mapped to alternative mics? Can they be extended or moved from the housing?
    Microphone array
    Access Azure Kinect DK microphone input data
    • What are the environmental requirements of the unit? Max heat? Is it using passive cooling? How many BTUs? How much space above/below/side to side does the unit need for cooling?

    Product safety warnings and instructions
    Operating Environment
    • What is the camera's light sensitivity?
    Azure Kinect DK depth camera, this is what I found, will keep you posted if I find further info.
    • What is the minimum distance needed between units to map in 3D? Do they need to be linked in order to operate in tandem? In order to have 180 degrees of 3D image rendering, how wide would they need to be spaced?
    Synchronize multiple Azure Kinect DK devices
    • How many individual element axis can a single unit map? Do additional units add element tracking 1:1 or is there a diminishing return (aka if 1 unit can track 35 people, can 2 units track 70 people or only 50 people)?
    Azure Kinect body tracking joints
    • What is the data transfer rate through the USB-C for video? For video and tracking? Is it element dependent or is it a constant rate?
