Introducing the new ZED X HDR Series

Stereolabs is pushing the boundaries of 3D Perception with the new ZED X HDR Series. ZED X HDR cameras are powered by automotive-grade SONY ISX031 sensor, delivering 120dB of Dynamic Range for unprecedented image quality in outdoor and challenging environments.

Introducing the ZED X HDR: The World’s First HDR Stereo Camera

The ZED X HDR is not just an HDR stereo camera—combined with the ZED SDK 5.0 it is a breakthrough in depth perception technology. With its superior dynamic range, longer baseline option, and enhanced optics, it enables robots and automated systems to perceive their surroundings with greater accuracy than ever before.

These new cameras include the monocular ZED X One HDR, and the stereoscopic ZED X HDR in 3 different form-factors, to cover any close and long-range depth sensing.

  • Sony ISX031 Automotive-grade HDR sensor with integrated ISP
  • Compatible with all Nvidia Jetson platforms and NXP
  • Built-in industrial IMU - Bosch BMI088
  • Environment-robust hardware, with:
    • IP67/IP69K certification
    • Coated Gorilla Glass
    • secure GMSL2 connectivity
  • Multi-camera sync. within 15µs
  • New baseline for extended depth range with ZED X Max HDR

Enabling AI-Powered 3D Vision in Any Environment

AI-driven perception is transforming industries, from autonomous vehicles and agriculture to construction and logistics. However, harsh outdoor conditions, extreme lighting contrasts, and long-range perception have remained key obstacles for reliable 3D vision.

The ZED X HDR Series solves this challenge. With cutting-edge HDR technology, IP67/IP69K-rated durability, and expanded depth range, it provides unmatched visual intelligence for machines operating day and night, in bright sunlight, low-light, or high-glare environments.

Built for Harsh Outdoor Conditions

Designed for the toughest environments, the ZED X HDR Series is engineered to withstand dust, water, and mechanical stress:

  • IP67-rated ZED X HDR and IP69K-rated ZED X One HDR for ultimate protection.
  • Coated Gorilla Glass lenses prevent scratches and resist impact.
  • AEC-Q100 automotive-grade sensor ensures reliability in industrial and outdoor applications.
  • Secure GMSL2 connectivity enables high-speed, low-latency vision streaming.

Unrivaled HDR Performance for Any Lighting Condition

With 120dB HDR, the ZED X HDR Series captures every detail in high-contrast environments—whether in bright daylight, deep shadows, or near-total darkness. Unlike traditional cameras that struggle with overexposure or loss of detail in extreme lighting, the ZED X HDR delivers:

  • Superior low-light performance without noisy image gain.
  • Reduced motion blur, critical for fast-moving applications like drones and autonomous vehicles.
  • Clear and accurate imaging in environments with strong reflections or glare.

Expanded 3D Perception Range for Large-Scale Automation

The ZED X Max HDR introduces a new extra-large 170mm baseline, extending accurate depth perception up to 23 meters. This makes it ideal for off-road autonomy, industrial automation, and robotic applications requiring precise 3D mapping over long distances.

Advanced Optical Correction & Low Distortion

Leveraging over 15 years of optics expertise, Stereolabs has optimized the ZED X HDR lens system to reduce distortion while retaining maximum image detail, ensuring the highest accuracy in digital rectification and 3D reconstruction.

Multi-Camera Synchronization for Scalable AI Vision

For complex outdoor environments and AI-driven automation, the ZED X HDR Series supports up to 4 synchronized cameras, ensuring:

  • Seamless perception for large areas (e.g., construction sites, logistics yards, and agricultural fields).
  • Sub-15 microsecond sync latency, perfect for real-time decision-making.
  • Compatibility with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and NXP platforms for high-performance AI computing.

Wider Vertical Field-of-View

The innovative 5/4 sensor format expands the vertical field of view to 95°, significantly surpassing traditional sensors for enhanced spatial awareness in industrial applications.
