ZED-LINK-DUO Overview
A robot with stereo cameras front and rear, or a cell that watches a workpiece from several angles, needs more than one camera on the same Jetson, captured in step. The ZED-LINK-DUO is the Stereolabs GMSL2 capture card for that middle ground, taking up to four ZED X or ZED X One cameras on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Orin NX and AGX Orin developer kits.
A single MAX96712 deserialiser handles four GMSL2 inputs in SD or HD, or two at 4K and 15 fps, across 10 Gbps of total bandwidth. That covers four ZED-X-WIDE stereo cameras, two ZED-X-ONE-4K-WIDE cameras at 4K, or a mix such as a ZED-X-MINI-WIDE alongside ZED X One GS cameras. Stereolabs keeps shutter-level hardware synchronisation across the streams, which supports accurate point clouds and 3D mapping when the robot or scene is moving. A GPIO header carries the frame-sync line as an input in slave mode or an output in master mode.
The ZED-LINK-DUO has two ways into the host. Two 15-pin MIPI CSI connectors link to Orin Nano and Orin NX developer kits with Arducam 15-to-22 pin cables, and a 120-pin Samtec board-to-board connector mounts it on an AGX Orin developer kit; the two connections cannot be used at the same time. On Orin Nano and Orin NX, power comes from a 9 V to 19 V DC jack, while on AGX Orin no external power is needed. For one camera on a smaller build, the ZED-LINK-MONO is the single-input card, and the ZED-LINK-QUAD doubles the count to eight on AGX Orin.
The card is rated from -20 °C to 85 °C and its order code is ACC-210000. Cameras connect over optional GMSL2 FAKRA cables from 0.3 m to 15 m. We supply it tested with your Jetson developer kit, cameras and cables, with JetPack and the ZED SDK configured and the sync wiring checked before it ships.
