Multi-camera system hardware recommendation

Hardware
1

Dear Stereolabs team,

I need to create a high-accuracy quad-camera system and would kindly ask:

  1. If you could recommend the ideal hardware setup. I.e which camera models / compute should I get for high-accuracy quad-camera depth fusion
  2. In the case where I already have two ZED2i cameras with a Jetson Orin Nano and want to utilize them, what would be the best way to expand this system locally? Buy two more ZED2i cameras and two more Jetsons and connect them through ethernet? Thus creating a system where: (2xZED2i cameras ā†’ JetsonNanoA), (2xZED2i cameras ā†’ JetsonNanoB), JetsonNanoA ā†ethernetā†’JetsonNanoC AND JetsonNanoB ā†ethernetā†’JetsonNanoC

Looking forward for your reply!

Hi @smilon
The Jetson Nano (Orin?) is not recommended for multi-camera configurations.
The Jetson Orin Nano NX 8 GB could handle 2x cameras, but with limited performance.

We recommend instead a system based on the Jetson Orin NX 16 GB when using 4 cameras, but not USB3 cameras, because the USB3 bandwidth is not enough to handle them all.

Please consider 4x ZED X cameras with a ZED Link Duo GMLS2 capture card.
