System Requirements
This section describes the minimum system requirements to use the ZED SDK, we recommend to use a high
performance hardware to ensure reliable computation time.
Operating Systems The ZED SDK 0.9.x currently supports Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 (64 bits) as well as Linux Ubuntu
14.04 and Linux4Tegra (Jetson OS).
Minimum System Requirements
In order to run the ZED SDK you need to have at least the following configuration:
• Dual-core 2,3GHz or faster processor
• 4 GB RAM or more
• NVIDIA GPU with Compute Capabilities > 2.0
• CUDA 6.5
• USB 3.0 port
• Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 (64 bits), Ubuntu 14.04, L4T21.3/4
In order to take full advantage of the ZED SDK you need a modern and powerful NVIDIA GPU. We currently
support CUDA 6.5 and all the compute capabilities from 2.0 to 5.2. We will provide a newer version of the SDK as
soon as possible when the next version of CUDA is released.
Recommended configuration:
• Dual-core 2,5GHz processor or faster
• 4 GB of RAM
• NVidia GTX 560
• CUDA 6.5
• USB 3.0 port
• Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 (64 bits), Ubuntu 14.04, L4T21.3/4
Additionally, if you plan to record high resolution footage –i.e 3840x1080 @ 30fps – we recommend having a fast
SSD with transfer speeds easily reaching 250 MB/s. If you are recording on your OS disk, we strongly recommend
at least 256GB capacity. The videos are recorded with no compression to ensure the best quality in playback. An
available USB 3.0 port is mandatory.
If you don’t have an NVIDIA GPU – i.e: Intel HD Graphics or AMD chip - you can still use the tools such as the
ZED Explorer to view and record side by side 3D video but you will not be able to visualize depth or use any of the
samples. If you are looking for a portable workstation, the Nvidia GT 640M inside a PC Laptop provides minimal
graphics power to run the samples.
