If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the [GMSL2 troubleshooting page](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2/troubleshooting), or contact [support@stereolabs.com](mailto:support@stereolabs.com). ## Install the GMSL2 Capture Card Please make sure the AGX DevKit is **powered off** and not connected to a power source before installing the capture card. Plug the capture card into the 'Camera connector' slot and secure it using the three provided screws, as shown in the following diagrams: ![ZED Link Duo installation on Xavier AGX](/_fern-img/368517e103e1d6d16a6378f1b5fc9cbef5fbde072e7e6f679b3fc64ee44f7a6b.webp) > **Warning** > > It's important to **use the provided spacers and screws** to ensure a secure fit and avoid damaging the ZED Link device and the NVIDIA® Jetson™ AGX Developer Kit carrier board. StereoLabs is not responsible for any damage caused by improper installation and will not provide support for issues arising from incorrect installation procedures. ![ZED Link Duo installation on Xavier AGX](/_fern-img/e4dd8c7c31714fdefbb0ffa7a246579fbb1fe78be7f3db61243e2422561f6042.webp) > **Note** > > The capture card is powered by the Dev Kit, therefore **you do not need** to use an additional power supply for the card. The final setup should look as such: ![ZED Link Duo final setup on Xavier AGX](/_fern-img/9891fb5df41ee997a6f4f0a9183ea134278d981c89aa2d957a2f1773e7428c8b.webp) ### Connect the camera Connect the [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) Fakra cable **female** end to your [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) camera. When you hear a *click*, the cable is securely connected to the camera. ![ZED X with Fakra cable](/_fern-img/95694c2856777b637c70f659e0d336d588116951a7df4c1afb0648869ef4bcb6.webp) With the DevKit still **powered off**, connect the **male** end of the cable to the capture card's [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) input. Again, a *click* informs you that the cable is **secured**. Now that the Developer Kit has been correctly set up, we can install the **associated software** and **drivers** for the ZED X. ## Setting up the software ### Install the ZED Link Driver After setting up your ZED Link capture card, please follow this guide to [Install the ZED Link Driver](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2/install-and-upgrade-the-drivers/). ### Install the ZED SDK After installing the ZED Link driver, please follow this guide to [Install the ZED SDK on NVIDIA® Jetson](/docs/development/zed-sdk/linux/work-with-nvidia-jetson/). ## Multi-camera configurations The ZED Link Duo provides 4 [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) ports organized in 2 Groups (**A**, **B**): * Group **A**: port **#0** and port **#1** * Group **B**: port **#2** and port **#3** ![ZED Link Duo connections](/_fern-img/96d8c17b874582c443fc6d2099234b4a57fec3ef621b283765c739c467aec72b.webp) Please refer to the table below to understand how different camera configurations provide different image capture behaviors, according to the number of cameras, their type, and the Group they are connected to: | Camera Type | Camera Model | Max number of cameras **per Group** | Max Resolution/FPS **per Group** | | ----------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | Monocular | ZED X One GS ZED X One S | Up to 2 cameras | HD1200\@60fps HD1080\@60fps SVGA\@120fps | | Monocular | ZED X One 4K | 1 camera *only to port #0, #2* | 4K\@15fps QHDPLUS\@15fps HD1200\@60fps HD1080\@60fps | | Stereo | ZED X ZED X Mini ZED X Nano | 1 Camera | HD1200\@60fps HD1080\@60fps SVGA\@120fps | | Stereo | ZED X ZED X Mini ZED X Nano | Up to 2 Cameras | HD1200\@30fps HD1080\@30fps SVGA\@60fps | > **Note** > > Maximum resolution and framerate require no more than 2 cameras per 4-wire [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) Fakra connector. --- 🎉 **Congratulations!** You have successfully set up your StereoLabs **[GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) Capture Card** and started exploring its features. Now that you have the camera up and running, it is time to start experimenting and building your projects. Whether you are using the camera for robotics, computer vision, or something else entirely, the ZED [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) cameras are a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals. **Happy coding!**
