Jetson Orin: how many cameras can each module decode?
Dataset 2026-09-07 · verified 2026-09-07 · last updated September 2026
Maximum simultaneous streams per module at the camera profiles people actually deploy. A = the datasheet publishes this exact point; D = EdgeAIStack pixel-rate estimate against the rated MP/s (⌊MP/s ÷ per-stream MP/s⌋). NVDEC/NVENC maximum clock is the same in every nvpmodel power preset on Orin, so decode capacity does not change with the power mode.

Reading the table
- These are hardware decode limits only. On a detection pipeline inference, memory or preprocessing almost always fails first; the Camera Stream Capacity engine checks all six stages and reports which one.
- Class D cells assume roughly linear NVDEC throughput inside the published range. They are not asserted for per-stream rates above the largest published point.
- Counts are per module for 8-bit 4:2:0 main profiles; JetPack or application session caps may be lower.
- Method and confidence rule: methodology. Sources per row: the module pages linked in the first column.

“Maximum frequency of NVDEC is same in different power modes.”
Now add the model.
Pick the module, camera count and detector; the engine returns every stage as a constraint with its source and a permanent link.
