Streaming ZED2i Camera to Another PC via Jetson Orin Nano Super

Hey there, I have a ZED2i camera attached to my jetson orin nano super and when I try to use the camera streaming example I get this error:

I saw on another topic that it’s because that particular jetson does not have a hardware encoder so I wanted to know if there are any other options to stream the camera to another PC. I want to do the bulk of the processing of the camera info on my dedicated GPU but I can’t seem to find a way to stream the ZED data over wifi.

Any help would be appreciated, I’m willing to try anything. Thanks!

Hi @lukelmg
Welcome to the Stereolabs community.

The Local Streaming module requires a hardware encoder to compress data in real-time using the H.264 or H.265 encoding.
Unfortunately, the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano is the only Jetson module not equipped with hardware encoders, so you cannot use the Local Streaming module with it.

We recommend the ZED Box Mini with Orin NX for this type of task.
