Hi Team,

What is the maximum camera resolution supported by the Jetson Xavier Nx ?
What is the maximum size of the pixel bits,
In 1920x1080 camera video input, what is the size of each pixel(24 bits or 16 bits)?

Regards,
Ajith.

Hi @ajith.kumaresh

It really depends on many factors, I will give you my answer considering a CSI interfaced camera.

1. What is the maximum camera resolution supported by the Jetson Xavier Nx ?

This really depends on the size of each pixel in bits that you are sending, which depends on the format directly, you will find in section Chapter 8. MIPI CSI Video Input in here https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-xavier-nx-data-sheet that the Xavier NX supports up to 3 cameras with 4 MIPI lanes each, and each lane has a maximum speed of 2.5 Gbps, this will give you a maximum 10 Gbps for that camera if you use all lanes, and depending on you required FPS and pixel format, that will be the maximum resolution. Also if you are planning on using the ISP, a maximum of 24 million pixels is explained in here section 1.5.3 Image Signal Processor: https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-xavier-nx-product-design-guide-v10.

2. What is the maximum size of the pixel bits

The formats supported by default for the Jetson Xavier NX can be find in section 1.5.1 MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI) from the Datasheet https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-xavier-nx-data-sheet. These include RAW20 and RGB888.

3. In 1920x1080 camera video input, what is the size of each pixel(24 bits or 16 bits)

This really depends on the camera sensor you are planning yo use, you usually can configure them to output some format or another depending on your needs.

Hi @robertogs2

Thanks for your response,

I want to use 2 lane CSI camera, First I want to know what is the maximum resolutions validated on 2 lane CSI, I have used an imx219 camera with 3264x2464 resolution on 2 lane CSI with 10-bit mode.

Could you please tell me any higher resolution validated on the Xavier NX with the above configurations?

Thanks,
Ajith.

Hi @ajith.kumaresh

I have worked on the past using the same configuration on a 4208x3120 resolution at 15fps.

JFYI, here is a tool that can be useful to calculate the fps at a given resolution in the Xavier NX

Best regards,
Roberto

Hi @robertogs2

4208x3120 is active resolution or total resolution including blanking.

Thanks,
Ajith.

Hi @ajith.kumaresh,

It was active resolution, blanking was bigger.

Best,
Roberto

Hi @robertogs2

Thanks For your response,

Could you please tell me the total resolution or blanking rate,

Thanks,
Ajith.
