GMSL2 Power Requirements
Capture Card Power Requirements #
| Capture Card | Min. | Typ. | Max. |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZED Link Mono | 0.23 W | 0.24 W | 0.25 W |
| ZED Link Duo | 0.30 W | 0.32 W | 0.34 W |
| ZED Link Quad | 0.28 W | 0.29 W | 0.30 W |
GMSL2 Camera Power Requirements #
The power consumption of GMSL2 cameras varies based on resolution and frame rate settings.
| GMSL2 Camera | Min. | Max. |
|---|---|---|
| ZED X / ZED X Mini | 1.01 W | 1.48 W * |
| ZED X One GS | 0.70 W | 0.94 W ** |
| ZED X One 4K | 0.73 W | 1.01 W *** |
* The maximum power is consumed at HD1200 resolution on 60 FPS.
** The maximum power is consumed at HD1200 resolution on 60 FPS.
*** Enabling HDR mode at QHD+ resolution (15 FPS) leads to maximum power consumption.
Total Power Requirement #
To determine the maximum total power requirement for a GMSL2 setup, sum the power consumption of the capture card and the power consumption of each connected camera.
Example of a typical configuration composed of two stereo cameras looking forward and backward, and two 4K monocular cameras looking at the sides:
- ZED Link Quad Capture card
- 2x ZED X
- 2x ZED X One 4K
Maximum total power = 0.30 + (2 x 1.48) + (2 x 1.01) = 5.28 W
