Unit of depth value in NYU v2 dataset

[ChlaegerIO]

On the website they state that rawDepths – HxWxN matrix of raw depth maps where H and W are the height and width, respectively, and N is the number of images. These depth maps capture the depth images after they have been projected onto the RGB image plane but before the missing depth values have been filled in. Additionally, the depth non-linearity from the Kinect device has been removed and the values of each depth image are in meters.

So I thought it should be in meters. But values up to 65'535 meters cannot be true. Do you know something more?
