connecting depth image from jit.freenect.grab to cv.jit objects

Hi,

I am a novice in Max, playing around with the Kinect to explore various possibilities. I am trying to connect the depth image from the jit.freenect.grab object (the depth image is represented in 1-plane float 32 format) to the input of a cv.jit object (whose input is in 1-plane char). What would be the best way to do so? Do you need to convert the 1-plane matrix from a float 32 to char, and if so how can you accomplish that?

Thanks in advance.
