Related to 1.getting same values of pixel in entire column 2. frame resolution

[Sourab1801]

Actually I am using kinect/pykinect2 lib to connect my kinect v2 with python. I am getting the depth image also and I  did some processing  in opencv but I am facing issue when I am going to print the captured frame matrix it shows me the same values in in entire column so I am not able to detect any object coming in front of my kinect sensor. also I am attaching the screenshot of matrix output.

And my second issue is about frame resolution , In kinect/pykinect2 i am not able to reduce the resolution properly. if i want 15x15 resolution then it converts height only 15 and width is 120. when i am going to increase the resolution above 120x120 then it work properly but below 120x120 it only decreases the height and the width is 120 as it is .

please help me in this issues.
Thank you

Sorry if I bother you.
I would like to ask you if you could share with me the python and comtypes versions you have installed.
I have many issues with comtypes and not enough experience to solve all of them...
Thank you.
