Orbbec Gemini 335Lg 3D depth and RGB camera features MX6800 ASIC, GMSL2/FAKRA connector for multi-device sync on NVIDIA Jetson Platforms

The Orbbec Gemini 335Lg is a 3D Depth and RGB camera in the Gemini 330 series, built with a GMSL2/FAKRA connector to support the connectivity needs of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robotic arms in demanding environments. As an enhancement of the Gemini 335L, the 335Lg features a GMSL2 serializer and FAKRA-Z connector ensuring reliable performance in industrial applications requiring high mobility and precision.

The Gemini 335Lg integrates with the Orbbec SDK, enabling flexible platform support across deserialization chips, carrier boards, and computing boxes, including NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin and AGX Xavier. The device can operate in both USB and GMSL (MIPI) modes, which can be toggled via a switch next to the 8-pin sync port, with GMSL as the default. The GMSL2/FAKRA connection provides high-quality streaming with synchronized multi-device capability, enhancing adaptability for complex setups.

Previously, we covered several 3D cameras from Orbbec, including the Orbbec Femto Mega 3D Depth Camera, Orbbec Femto Bolt, and Orbbec Persee among others. Feel free to check them out if you’re interested in exploring these cameras.

The Gemini 335Lg is designed for systems needing synchronized multi-device setups, where streams from multiple cameras require precise alignment. It supports two hardware sync methods: GMSL2 GPIO sync or an 8-pin connector with a sync cable, with GMSL offering simpler wiring and enhanced stability. Built rugged with an IP65 rating, it operates in active/passive stereo modes to ensure depth accuracy in dynamic conditions, achieving <0.8% precision at 2m. It provides a 90° horizontal and 65° vertical field of view, supports cable lengths up to 15m, and meets industrial certification standards, making it ideal for synchronized multi-camera use in challenging environments.

The company provides out-of-the-box support for NVIDIA’s Jetson platform, with compatibility for both Robot Operating System (ROS) and ROS 2 via a suitable GMSL2 camera board, enabling up to 16 cameras per host. Additional platform support is expected soon. The camera’s lifespan is five years under default operating mode and typical conditions, with a recommended maximum operating time of 16 hours per day. More information is available on the documentation page.

The Gemini 335Lg 3D Camera is now available for pre-order on Orbbec’s official store for $429. For more information, visit the product page.
