Orbbec Gemini 330 Series: Active Stereo Cameras with Proprietary MX6800 ASIC Depth Processing

Orbbec Gemini 330 series: Active stereo cameras built on proprietary MX6800 ASIC depth processing

Summary

Orbbec has launched the Gemini 330 series of active stereo cameras, which process depth and align it with color internally using the MX6800 ASIC. This design reduces host computing load and latency while enabling hybrid stereo imaging that works in both active and passive lighting conditions. The series includes models tailored for different applications, from compact mobile robots to AMR navigation.

Editorial context

Orbbec's Gemini 330 series represents a significant advancement in active stereo camera technology by integrating depth processing and alignment within the camera itself using the MX6800 ASIC. This design reduces reliance on host computing, improves latency, and enables hybrid stereo imaging that works effectively in both active and passive lighting conditions.

330 series specifications and recommended applications The family splits into foundational models, IR-enhanced models, and models with expanded connectivity. The figures below come from the specification table on the Gemini 330 series page. Gemini 335 and Gemini 336 These are the compact members, with a 50mm baseline in a 90 × 25 × 30mm body. Depth range runs from 0.10m to beyond 20m, with an ideal range of 0.3m to

.8% at 2m and ≤1.6% at 4m. Depth output reaches 1280 × 800 at 30fps or 848 × 480 at 60fps. The RGB sensor uses a global shutter at up to 1280 × 800 at 60fps, so color and depth both avoid rolling-shutter skew on a moving platform. The enclosure is rated IP65, and the operating range is −10°C to 50°C. These are the default choices for AMR navigation and obstacle detection, where planners need dependable depth at sever
