ZED-LINK-MIPI-QUAD Overview
Humanoids and robot arms rarely have room for GMSL2 serialisers and coaxial cable in every joint, and their control loops are sensitive to camera latency. The ZED-LINK-MIPI-QUAD is the Stereolabs answer for board-level vision: a MIPI camera interface board that connects ZED X One Core cameras straight to the Jetson over MIPI CSI-2, which Stereolabs positions for Physical AI and advanced robotics.
Four four-lane MIPI CSI-2 channels run through 30-pin I-PEX connectors, with cable runs of up to 50 cm, into an FPGA that also handles trigger and frame-sync for hardware-level synchronisation across all cameras. Total bandwidth is up to 10 Gbps. The board works only with ZED X One Core cameras, such as the ZED-X-ONE-CORE-WIDE, ZED-X-ONE-CORE-NARROW and ZED-X-ONE-CORE-FISHEYE, which take their power over the same MIPI cable.
On the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin developer kit, the ZED-LINK-MIPI-QUAD mounts on the 120-pin Samtec connector and captures four cameras in SD or HD at up to 1920 x 1200 and 60 fps. For Jetson Thor, it connects through an NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge, which links to the Thor developer kit over 10Gb Ethernet QSFP+ and takes two cameras. In both cases the board is powered through the Samtec connector, and a separate 5 V input on a two-pin JST PH connector is needed only for flashing. For GMSL2 cameras on longer coaxial runs to an AGX Orin, the ZED-LINK-QUAD is the capture card to look at.
The board is rated from 0 °C to 60 °C and its order code is ACC-213000. Stereolabs points to its online documentation for partner-compatible Holoscan Sensor Bridge boards, and our team can help match one to your Thor setup. We supply it configured and tested with your ZED X One Core cameras, I-PEX cables and AGX Orin or Thor kit before it ships.
