How should I configure the hardware of the industrial computer.
I want to connect five d455 depth cameras with an industrial computer. How should I configure the hardware of the industrial computer. My budget is within 6000 yuan.
Thank you for your answers

Hello, if you will be using the 5 cameras simultaneously then I would recommend selecting an industrial PC with an i7 CPU due to the processing demands of streaming that quantity of cameras at the same time on a single computer.
If the cameras will not be operating simultaneously and you will be turning the cameras on and off to select the one that you want to access then a lower power computer specification could be used.

The 400 Series cameras contain internal hardware called the Vision Processor D4 for processing the camera data at the point of capture. This enables the camera to be used with a low specification computer, as the D4 performs processing that would otherwise have to be done on the computer GPU.
However, RealSense applications can benefit from a computer that has a good GPU, and processing work for certain functions such as color conversion, point clouds and depth to color alignment can be optionally offloaded from the CPU onto the GPU to reduce demand on the CPU.
If you have a computer with an Nvidia GPU (which includes the Nvidia Jetson range of computing boards) then you can use the RealSense SDK software's CUDA support for such offloading. The RealSense SDK also provides offloading support for any brand of GPU through its GLSL function, though improvement may not be noticeable when GLSL is used on a low-power computing device.
