Orin NX CSI 4 Virtual Channels per port

Assuming the cameras do not exceed the bandwidth of the csi is the below configuration possible on the Orin NX 16Gb? All cameras need to stream simultaneously.

Where the aggregator is a GMSL MAX96724 and the cameras are utilizing virtual channels and the isp.

hello imrisaacu9c5v,

please refer to [Chapter 10. MIPI CSI Video Input] from Jetson Orin NX Series and Orin Nano Series Design Guide.
theoretically, it’s 8-camera through virtual channel.

As long as i am within the bandwidth constraints I can theoretically put 8 cameras on a 2-lane csi port?

hello imrisaacu9c5v,

yes, please be aware that each data lane has a peak bandwidth of up to 2.5Gbps.
let me give you an example to calculate CSI date rate for quick checking.
for instance, 4K (3840x2160), 90-fps, 10-bits per pixel. (i.e. Raw10)
CSI data-rate = 3840 * 2160 * 10 * 90 * 1.15 ~= 8.584 Gbps
