Recommended Specifications for ZED SDK
The ZED camera is UVC (Universal Video Class) compliant so you can capture the left and right video streams of the ZED on any Windows and Linux platforms. However, getting access to advanced features of the ZED SDK requires proper hardware to offer sustained and optimal performance.
We recommend the following system specifications to use the ZED SDK:
| Minimum | Recommended | Embedded Systems | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Dual-core 2,3GHz | Quad-core 2,7GHz or faster | NVIDIA® Jetson Nano, TX2, Xavier, Orin |
| RAM | 4GB | 8GB | 8GB |
| Graphics Card | NVIDIA® GPU* | GTX1060 or higher** | NVIDIA® Jetson embedded GPU |
| Connectivity | USB 3.0 | USB 3.0 | USB 3.0 / GMSL2*** |
| Operating System | Windows 10/11, Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 | NVIDIA® Jetson Linux (L4T) | |
* An NVIDIA® GPU with Compute Capabilities > 3 is required.
** Maxwell and Kepler GPUs (compute capabilities 3.5, 5.0, and 5.2) are not supported using CUDA 11.x and 12.x, only with CUDA 10.2.
** NVIDIA® Jetson Orin AGX/NX/Nano, and Xavier AGX/NX are required for the ZED X and ZED X Mini GMSL2 camera models.
