What is GMSL/FAKRA?
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) is a multigigabit, point-to-point connection targeting the automotive space. GMSL supports multistream over a single cable, up to 15m with a coax cable. GMSL is a high performance protocol combined with a secure FAKRA connector making it best suited for robotic and warehouse applications.
Watch the Webinar ReplayWhy GMSL/FAKRA?
The D457 depth camera adds a GMSL serializer and FAKRA connector to the RealSense camera product line. GMSL/FAKRA offers lower power consumption, reduced ESD/EMI noise, lower latency, and longer cable length compared to USB, while providing higher bandwidth compared to Ethernet.
An IMU inside.
The camera integrates an IMU to allow your application to refine its depth awareness in any situation where the camera moves. This allows improved environmental awareness for robotics and drones.
Best for Autonomous Mobile Robots
Adding an automotive-grade FAKRA connector, a GMSL high-speed serializer, and an IP65 grade enclosure makes it the best fit for autonomous mobile robots (AMR), automotive infotainment, and driver monitoring. The D457 is supported by the same cross-platform, open-source RealSense™ SDK 2.0, and requires a separate kernel driver package for the GMSL serializer. The kernel driver is open-source and can be easily integrated into various platforms.
Platforms supporting D457
The following are a few platforms integrated with RealSense Depth Camera D457.
Connect Tech Anvil platform with NVIDIA® Jetson™ AGX Orin
Equipped to handle up to eight RealSense™ Depth Camera D457s in one system, the Connect Tech Anvil platform supports the RealSense™ D457 out of the box, providing readily available drivers and seamless integration for vision deployments. With the GMSL FAKRA interface, the Anvil platform allows for longer cable lengths and secure automotive-style connectors, ideal for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and other applications requiring robust connectivity solutions.
Long range with GMSL/FAKRA interface
The D457 is comprised of the same D450 optical module used in the D455 camera with a new Vision Processor D4 Board V5. It has the same long range KPIs as the D455 with the benefits of the secure GMSL/FAKRA connector and IP65 grade.

Multi-D457 Camera Synchronization over GMSL
When multiple D457 cameras are connected to one system, their streams often need to be synchronized. This can be achieved through two methods: using the GMSL link without sync cable wiring or through the 9-pin AUX connector with a 2-wire sync cable, which is typically used on USB RealSense cameras like the D45x, D43x, and D415.
Leveraging the power of
SDK 2.0
Build the future with the open source RealSense™ SDK 2.0 and depth tools. Platform independent, the SDK supports all current RealSense depth cameras and includes wrappers for many common platforms and languages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RealSense™ Depth Camera D457?
The RealSense™ Depth Camera D457 features our longest range widest field of view global shutter camera with a GMSL serializer and FAKRA connector.
What is the size of the peripheral?
Based on the D455 camera, the peripheral dimensions are 124 mm (X) × 29 mm (Y) × 36 mm (Z).
Why GMSL/FAKRA?
There are many benefits to GMSL/FAKRA over USB & Ethernet, including:
- Higher bandwidth of 6Gb vs. 1Gb Ethernet
- Can support long cable length (15m) vs. 3m USB3
- GMSL/FAKRA has better EMI than USB
- GMSL/FAKRA has lower power and lower latency compared to USB
Why are other D400 cameras USB?
All the RealSense™ Depth Camera in the D400 family have an USB interface. The main reasons include:
- USB is natively supported by all the operating systems, making it easy to integrate to most platforms.
- Many low cost platforms do not have GMSL/FAKRA interface.
- The drivers to support GMSL/FAKRA are developed per platform so require more integration effort from the customers.
What are the target markets?
The D457 is mainly targeted for the autonomous mobile robotic market and other customers that use the GMSL/Fakra in their platforms.
How to integrate the D457 camera into the platform?
Integration of the D457 into a platform, requires a GMSL/FAKRA de-serializer connecting to the Host platform. Contact the support team for more information.
The D457 is supported with the same cross-platform open-source RealSense™ SDK 2.0, with a separate kernel driver package for the MIPI interface, that is connected to the GMSL serializer. It is tested and verified on leading platforms with GMSL de-serializer and FAKRA connector support.
Is there a module version of the D457?
Yes. D457 is comprised of the same D450 Optical module used in D455 camera with a new RealSense™ Vision Processor D4 Board V5.
What is in the box?
The box product comes in a retail box. It has a peripheral, a GMSL cable, tripod and a get started guide.
Is there a bulk version?
Yes. The RealSense™ Depth Camera D457 comes in 30 pack bulk version with only the peripheral – no cable, tripod or retail box.
Where can I purchase D457?
Head to our store at https://store.realsenseai.com/ or through any authorized RealSense Distributor.
