Thor is the body
Jetson Thor captures, encodes, runs live AD, pose, overlay, and snap. Not a cloud camera with a brick glued on.

Thor in the body.
A filmmaker on a location owns a camera that thinks with them, a box that renders overnight, and a disk they can pick up and leave. This repository is the hardware: carrier, sensors, interconnect, power, enclosure, datasheets.
Product vision, pipeline 0–19, modes, and models live in the spatial viewer. We cite them. We do not fork them.
Plotting the body…
Bring-up kit
- Lab brick
- AGX Thor Developer Kit = T5000 module. 243 × 112 × 57 mm. QSFP28 + 5GbE.
- Production ceiling
- T4000 SOM, 64 GB, 1× NVENC, 70 W default / 90 W throttle, 87 × 100 × 15.29 mm.
- Count
- 1 body + 2 satellites at 4K30. HEVC on the wire. Cooke /i sidecar next to picture.
- Fabric
- Body on CSI/GMSL. Sats on PoE H.265. USB-C is not the trunk.
- Heat
- 70 W fanless is not honest. Body-as-radiator ~40 W. Metal production shell; resin is a fit-check.
Three boxes
Camera body
Jetson Thor. Sensors, encode, live AD, pose, overlay, snap. This repo.
Coprocessor
RTX PRO 6000. Reconstruct, gsplat, quality generate. Off-body, optional dual.
NAS
The vault. Ordinary files. Keys, takes, prompts, LUTs, scenes leave with the disks.
Already decided
Full ledger, including still-openDo not re-litigate without new evidence. Mode switch drops AI, never record. Live overlay is a depth-test, not a DiT. Record path is HEVC.

RTX PRO 6000 is the quality box
Overnight reconstruct, gsplat, FLUX.2 [dev], Wan / Hunyuan, Cosmos. Off-body. Optional dual.

NAS is source of truth
Takes, pose, prompts, LUTs, USD, splats, checkpoints as ordinary files. Unmount the disks and leave.

Mode switch drops AI, never record
If power or thermal sags, unload models. HEVC and the sidecar keep running.

70 W fanless is not honest
A cine-sized metal shell dumps ~38–50 W still air. Body-as-radiator is ~40 W. Record-only (NVENC + CSI, AI dropped) is 15–30 W and can be silent. 70 W AI wants heatpipes to a radiator and at most one slow fan.

The cooler sits on the TTP. We design it.
T4000 TTP max 75 °C, SoC 90 °C recommended. NVIDIA sells neither a cine body nor a fanless 70 W promise. Do not open the TTP. ATS “passive” means chassis airflow, not still air.
locked
Live overlay is a depth-test, not a DiT
EVF composite is mesh / low splat against live pose. Generative insert is minutes on the 6000.
locked
Rooms are captured, not generated
Walk the space. Reconstruct overnight. Do not hallucinate the set as the live picture.
locked
H3 is license-gated in the US
MiniMax H3 open-weights are excluded here. Default local video is Wan 2.2 + Hunyuan 1.5 + Cosmos.
locked
Snap is FLUX.2 klein 4B
Inline still on Thor, Apache, ~8–13 GB. Unloads 27B. Not a replacement take. [dev] stays on the 6000.

Compute Carrier Lab brick is the AGX Thor Developer Kit (T5000). Production ceiling is the T4000 SOM — 64 GB, 1× NVENC, 70 W default — unless satellite count forces T5000.Pipes Cameras Thor speaks CSI-2, not GMSL. Body on the box is CSI. Sats are GMSL2, PoE H.265, or a cine HDMI/SDI body. Cable plant, not picture quality.Plant Interconnect Hybrid fabric: body CSI/GMSL into NVENC, sats PoE H.265, lens /i as a second stream. HEVC bring-up fits 5GbE.Numbers Stream budget Working haul is ~100 Mbps per 4K30 HEVC. T4000 HQ encodes 2× 4Kp30, not three. QSFP28 is independent 25G lanes, not aggregated 100G.Glass + silicon Sensors Bring-up count is 1 body + 2 satellites at 4K30. Body is native CSI/GMSL. Sats are PoE H.265 with Cooke-class metadata, not P-iris stubs.Cooke /i Lens metadata Frame-accurate /i (or LDS / XD / EF electronic) from every camera, written as JSONL next to picture. Maps live on the NAS, not per frame.Watts Power T4000 default 70 W, throttle at 90 W. If power sags: drop AI, never record. Two PoE+ sats ≈ 60 W at the PSE. Do not power Thor from the switch.Heat Thermal TDG-12271-001 v1.3. TTP max 75 °C. 70 W fanless in a cine envelope is not honest. Body-as-radiator ~40 W still air; 70 W AI wants heatpipes to a real radiator and at most one slow fan. Measure TTP before metal CAD.Shell Enclosure First article wraps the AGX kit, two-part resin for an Anycubic bed. Resin is a fit-check, not a heat sink. Production body is metal — the radiator.Stages 0–19 Model map Index of which job runs on Thor vs the 6000. Thor resident set stays ≤ ~40 GB. If the 6000 is off, stages 0–8 and 19 still complete.Buy brief Shopping Not a spec. Blackmagic is a cinema body (path B), not a CSI science project.
