  • Page 17: Mechanical Drawings & Models

    NVIDIA Jetson® AGX Xavier™ GMSL Camera Platform Users Guide www.connecttech.com Note: Since the Rogue carrier can be populated in many different configurations, the current consumption is listed excluding power needed to run the Rogue (and Xavier Module) itself, i.e. the value in the No Cameras Connected section. Minimum current is defined as when the cameras are not streaming, maximum is the peak surge current and typical is current consumption during streaming.
