GMSL2 Camera Power Requirements

The GMSL2 cameras are powered over the coaxial cable (Power over Coax). To choose the cables and their length, see GMSL2 Cables.

The power consumption of GMSL2 cameras varies based on resolution and frame rate settings.

GMSL2 CameraMin.Max.
ZED X / ZED X Mini / ZED X Nano1.01 W1.48 W *
ZED X One GS0.70 W0.94 W **
ZED X One 4K0.73 W1.01 W ***

* The maximum power is consumed at HD1200 resolution at 60 FPS.

** The maximum power is consumed at HD1200 resolution at 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
