Xbox 360 Kinect Setup

2010-11-04
what's up everyone John rector from TechnoBuffalo here since I first started talking about the Kinect I received a ton of questions about how easy or hard it is to set up what cables you need for the new Xbox versus the old xbox so I figured since I gotta set this up anyway we may can help answer a question or two so I'm gonna show you guys how easy or difficult it is to set up your new Xbox Kinect all right so we've got the Kinect right here all the cables I'm not sure which ones I'm gonna need they're not me I don't think an external power supply is going to be necessary with the new Xbox but we will see in a minute if you have an older Xbox 360 the Kinect will absolutely work it does come with some extension cables and adapters so the Kinect cord goes in here USB adapter and then power so you can use this with any Xbox 360 there was a bit of question whether not only worked at the new one and it'll work with any model all right so here is the Kinect here is my Xbox go ahead and take off the twist tie and connect this guy and see what the setup process looks like and then of course we'll do some hands-on time if you connect and the rest of that and business so put the Kinect here up on top I'm going to go ahead and drop the cord down the back of my console stand here and pull it out the Xbox 360 a bit of a squeeze here's that court alright so go ahead and plug this in go ahead and plug this down and see if all we need is just deep connects you want so here is the inch box alright so here is the back of the new Xbox 360 is sort of a nickname slim and there is that connect port right there here's my orange cable matches it let's go ahead and plug it in so you can meet anything else sort of looks like a modified through this B cable let's see if we needed power to connect I don't see any lights on you may actually need some sort of power cord plug my see my table back in go ahead all right so the connect is set up let me say take it so let's go ahead and turn on the television and see what happens all right sorry to figure it out this works live on video together and it looks like there's now a light blinking on the Kinect so that answers that question you do not need Nextel power supply with the new Xbox 360 now up on the TV I am getting a nice little warning here asking if I want to update my console because I've got a new accessory so I'm gonna go ahead and do that update you're gonna have to do the same thing as well this is not the same as the fall update that just came out this appears to be a separate update just for the Kinect so I'll go ahead and let it do its updated business and come back in just a minute all right so we are all set up then update download the console rebooted and it's asking me if I want to continue my setup so let's go ahead and do that all right a little lead jumped away make sure your sensor is position 2 to 6 feet from the floor place on a stable surface you have problems later all right the sensor is placed looks like a pretty good location I think let's go ahead and hit select all right this process will improve voice commands and the chart start by checking the background noise when available at test background noise all right so I'm gonna shut up and want to do its test you guys can see all this happening my background level is okay that's good make sure your Super Bowl and you set at the level you used to play games so check your speaker volume by playing some sounds I don't send an internal volume looks bad good alright let's go ahead and see what this does to be yells at me a speaker volumes okay thank you for the validation there Xbox all right this will test the sound you help you or interconnect your room your audio setup may affect let's go ahead and calibrate okay so I obviously had to be quiet there I love when the Xbox barks out orders microphone calibration calories can complete you can turn up the volume you can turn it back down okey doke chat microphone kicked has a built-in chat microphone for games Xbox Live parties and I can hear myself get yelled at by 13 year olds and stereo and without the protection of a headset so everybody can hear myself get beat you want to use the Kinect for chat sure it's turned on for chat connect alright all I want to do is neck that's a pretty in-depth setup process alright setting up Kinect there's a lot to do with this one little guy first stand up Luke you know I am standing up put down the controller Wow we had that know how they knew I had a controllers beyond me make sure the area is clear in front of the sensor alright and now I'm hitting the camera and in front of the sensor and I'm not a freaking it's business out only one person so now I think the camera is as messy guy I want to move the camera to a bit of a different angle perhaps out of the sensors of you and we'll see if we can get this thing set up a little bit differently all right so we'll go a little bit farther away let's see if that alright and that seems to fix the problem alright stay there I'm not moving connect way to interact uh all right so let me select it off and hold your hand over panel to select it so I am just moving my hand around right now we're going to move it to continue and you see a little circle fills up choose an avatar let's go and who looks most like me know Justin let's go back all right I'm just moving my hand right here I'm gonna go back let's pick that is my avatar with that creep dad's mustache I would say so myself and done like a little dancer you did alright I think that we are now set up with connect um pretty elaborate process to get this guy up you going so now it's gonna be sort of the standard Xbox welcome just like actually done normally it's no longer connected by I'll be doing some hands-on stuff with the games tomorrow and show you guys for what this thing looks like so stay tuned to TechnoBuffalo for all of your connectedness for right now I'm John render and I'll see you in the next video bye
