Synchronization two ZED Mini cameras (not X)

[Nathaniel]

Given two ZED Mini (not X Mini), is it possible to sync them?

I understand that accuracy of 0.1 ms as on the ZED X Mini will likely not be achievable, but is there some way of increasing the synchronization so that the latency between captured sensors is consistently less than some value? without doing anything, we’ll get two timestamps that differ on average by half the time difference, but that number will change on every invocation of the system.

The multi-camera example notes that “These timestamps can be used for device synchronization”, but it’s not clear to me how one can do so and what time difference we can expect. If this helps, we’re running on Jetson devices.

Cheers,

Hi @Nathaniel

Data with similar timestamps (difference minor than the grab period) is acquired in close moments.
You must compare timestamps to evaluate the synchronization.

I understand that I can measure this myself, but the idea was to understand from your side what kinds of latency I can expect before purchasing Zed Minis as I currently only have the Zed X Mini.
