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.
Why 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.
