Using a jetson as a zed connection and running all the computation on an x86 compute

HI,
i actually wanted to use a zed box mini just to connect the zedx camera and then i want to run the computation on the x86 architecture so the zed box only acts as a connector and the work is done on the bigger x86 compute ..
is that possible ???

Hi @hamdan11
What you asked for is available.
You can find the details in the StereoLabs documentation:

Hi

Currently, I’m using a ZED Box to capture and stream the camera feed, and then sending that data to an x86 machine where all the heavy computation is performed.

I wanted to understand the impact of this setup on core functionalities:

  • Will positional tracking be affected or degraded when computation is offloaded to an external x86 system and also i want to know weather the stream is being compressed or not

  • Will depth accuracy or quality be reduced in this pipeline compared to running everything directly on the Jetson?

  • Are there any best practices or recommended configurations for this kind of distributed setup?

My goal is to balance compute performance (using x86) while still maintaining accurate tracking and depth from the ZED-X.

when im running the stream sender python code and trying to run the zed node on the x86 … im getting this error and on the x86 side the node logs POTENTIAL CALIBRATION ISSUE … neeed help with this issue ..
