Multiple Jetson AGX Orin & ZED Capture Card Duo

[onit]

Hi there.

I am currently setting up the hardware architecture for a project and looking for some insights from the community.

Context
Currently, we are testing with

• 1x NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin (64GB)
• 1x ZED Link Capture Card Quad.

Goal
Understand the possibilities of connecting two Jetson AGX Orin Dev Kits via Ethernet.

• Per Jetson: 1x ZED Link Capture Card Duo + 2x ZED X cameras (GMSL2).

Here are my questions:

1. Latency: Is low-latency performance feasible between the two Jetsons via Ethernet for this setup?
2. Sync: Since the Quad card supports internal hardware sync/triggering, what are the bottlenecks when trying to synchronize two separate ZED Link Capture Card Duos across two devices?
3. Future Tech: Is there a status on NVIDIA Jetson Thor + ZED X applications? If that powerhouse is around the corner, we might skip the multi-Jetson headache.

Thanks for the help!

Hi @onit

This depends on how you make the device communicate.

The ZED Link Duo does not support hardware triggering, so hardware synchronization is not available with it.

You can contact ConnectTech or Advantech. They have Thor-ready solutions with our GMSL2 cameras.
