Formats

MJPEG / YUY2 (YUYV)

Low-light notes

S/N 36 dB; dynamic range 82 dB (rervision.cn); sensitivity 1.4 V/lux-sec; autofocus (~200 ms) may hunt in dim light (untested)

Latency notes

unknown (vendor publishes no latency figure; needs glass-to-glass test)

USB / Pi compatibility

USB 2.0 High Speed, UVC; ELP page states Linux (kernel >2.6.26) and Raspberry Pi support; 550-610 mA per unit

Stereo suitability

OK for a first prototype: need a 2nd unit; no hardware sync; two independent autofocus lenses can hunt differently; 1080p capped at 30 fps; each unit ~550-610 mA

Sheet notes

'-QFZ' suffix not found in any public listing; specs are the family's. Spec inconsistencies between pages (fps at 8000x6000/4000x3000, S/N, weight); 1080p30 and 4K30 MJPEG are consistent on all pages. Serial OFZ20240723-XFH9GD3M.

Sheet notes

Bare board, no enclosure. Measure baseline yourself (80 mm board suggests lens spacing < 80 mm, not confirmed).

Low-light notes

S/N 42 dB; dynamic range 86 dB; sensitivity 5.0 V/lux-sec - best low-light spec among the cheap ELP boards

Latency notes

unknown (vendor publishes no latency figure; needs glass-to-glass test); on-camera H.264 adds encoder latency (size unknown)

USB / Pi compatibility

USB 3.0, UVC; Linux listed; 170-210 mA; Pi 5 has 2x USB 3.0 ports (raspberrypi.com)

Stereo suitability

Good matched pair: 1080p50, uncompressed option; Pi 5 has two USB 3.0 ports (supports simultaneous 5 Gbps per raspberrypi.com) so one per port

Sheet notes

Pick lens: L80 is a narrow 8 mm; L36 (3.6 mm) variant is listed at same price. Uncompressed 1080p50 YUY2 x2 would need software encode on Pi.

USB / Pi compatibility

USB 2.0, UVC driver-free; buyer review: works on laptop and Android; some apps show only one eye unless 3840x1080 selected

Sheet notes

An AliExpress listing for the same seller family exists (aliexpress.us/item/3256809657959986) but could not be opened (bot block), so no AliExpress specs are used. Seller store also lists a 720p adjustable-baseline stereo module (HK$421.89, not opened).

USB / Pi compatibility

USB 3.0 Type-C (store header says USB 3.1); Stereolabs support article covers using the ZED without CUDA (SDK depth needs NVIDIA GPU); Pi 5 untested by us

Stereo suitability

Purpose-built, 63 mm baseline is inside human IPD range (51-75 mm), calibrated; but 60 g, 124.5 mm long, USB 3, and no on-camera encoder means Pi 5 must software-encode ~3840x1080

Sheet notes

Most expensive; listed as ready-made benchmark. 720p60 side-by-side is available as a lighter encode load.
