As an example, you can use an image input, video input, as well as a webcam input for OpenPose. Is such functionality available to the Body Tracking SDK? Am I able to use the pose estimation capabilities on an image or pre-recorded video? Or is there only support for real-time?

    Hello @AM Below information might be useful for your secnario.

    There are sample applications that use pre-recorded video. You can find them in the Azure-Kinect-Samples repo.
    simple_3d_viewer can be used with the OFFLINE argument for this purpose. Also, there is offline_processor that works with the pre-recorded videos.

    Regarding the follow-up Question: We have a response from the product team.
    Q: For the Simple3dViewer and OfflineProcessor, does the input video file have to be an Azure Kinect MKV file or can it be another format like an avi or mp4?

    Recording and playback support in the Sensor SDK is built on .mkv containers, sample apps support only .mkv files.
