The above recommendations are based on the number of cameras, but the overall performance can vary based on the intensity and nature of your application.

The most suitable ZED Box largely depends on the number of ZED X cameras you plan to connect to a single computer:

  • For 1 ZED X camera: We recommend the ZED Box Orin 8GB.
  • For 2 ZED X cameras: Opt for the ZED Box Orin NX 16GB.
  • For 4 ZED X cameras: The ZED Box AGX Orin would be the best choice.

However, it's also crucial to consider the computational costs of your specific application. The above recommendations are based on the number of cameras, but the overall performance can vary based on the intensity and nature of your application.

Lastly, when selecting your ZED Box, please ensure you add the GMSL2 port option to ensure compatibility and optimum performance with the ZED X camera.

Yes, you can power your ZED Box via Ethernet using a Power Source Equipment (PSE), usually a PoE+ switch. The PoE+ switch can deliver up to 30W (usable 25.5W) to power connected devices, called Powered Devices (PD). This means you only require a single Ethernet cable to both power the ZED Box and transfer data. This becomes especially convenient when setting up cameras and ZED Boxes in environments that are challenging to access with no traditional power outlets. Utilizing PoE+ not only streamlines the installation process but also reduces cable clutter, making for a cleaner and more efficient setup.

Certainly. ZED Boxes are compact supercomputers powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules. These systems are designed as robust AI computers, ideal for energy-efficient autonomous machines. NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ modules give you up to 275 trillion operations per second (TOPS) and 8X the performance of the last generation for multiple concurrent AI inference pipelines, plus high-speed interface support for multiple sensors.
