Thor is the body
Jetson Thor captures, encodes, runs live AD, pose, overlay, and snap. Not a cloud camera with a brick glued on.
Decisions
The body of this camera is a pile of forks that already closed. Reopen one only with a datasheet or a measured encode. Open items are shopping and timing, not architecture.

RTX PRO 6000 is the quality box
Overnight reconstruct, gsplat, FLUX.2 [dev], Wan / Hunyuan, Cosmos. Off-body. Optional dual.
locked
NAS is source of truth
Takes, pose, prompts, LUTs, USD, splats, checkpoints as ordinary files. Unmount the disks and leave.
locked
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.

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.
locked
AD is Qwen3.5-9B (27B on sticks)
Talks; does not move the camera unless asked. 27B only at 130 W, and it unloads klein.
locked
Record path is HEVC
Thor NVENC and/or camera-side H.265. Do not haul RAW over Ethernet. CSI RAW is the body hop into NVENC.
locked
Lens metadata is Cooke /i class
Every camera, body and sat. JSONL sidecar 1:1 with picture. Not inside the HEVC.
locked
AGX kit is a T5000. There is no T4000 kit
Lab brick is the AGX Developer Kit. Production thermal/encode ceiling is the T4000 SOM unless satellite count forces T5000.
locked
Hybrid fabric
Body camera on CSI/GMSL mounted to the Thor box. Satellites on PoE Ethernet. USB-C is not the trunk.

Bring-up is 1 body + 2 sats at 4K30
4-sat and 6-sat stay in the budget tables. T4000 HQ cannot Thor-encode the trio — sats encode on camera.
locked
Thor lives inside the camera body
T4000 + compact carrier + CSI sensor + active HS. Not the AGX kit as the product, and not a PYXIS bolted onto a brick.
Lab facts
True of the kit we are printing and the GMSL math. Not the product envelope.

First enclosure wraps the AGX kit
243.19 × 112.40 × 56.88 mm. Two-part resin fit-check, not a heat sink. Leave the kit fan. Production body is metal.

Honest GMSL2 4K30 RAW is 4, not 8, not 20
8 is the deser catalog. 20 is HSB / Camera-over-Ethernet. 4K30 RAW12 on GMSL2 is a 4-lane budget.

PoE switch SKU
at vs bt. Switch is a kit item — Thor has no PoE. Two cameras at 802.3at ≈ 60 W at the PSE.
open
Time domain
PTP on sats vs camera timecode vs slate clock. Product question, not a model question. SMPTE genlock unproven.
open
Hero uncompressed sat
Exception path, not v1. Uncompressed 4K30 10-bit is ~5 Gbps and is not the satellite budget.
open
/i reader on the carrier
PL contacts vs barrel-only port. Industrial CSI/GMSL modules do not speak Cooke /i.

Body module + two PoE cameras
Classes are picked (CSI/GMSL 4K body, cine /i PoE sats, industrial stub). Datasheets are the next pack.

Pick a heat path, then measure
TDG-12271-001 v1.3 is in tree. Ranked: (1) body as radiator ~40 W, (2) heatpipes to a V-mount radiator + one slow fan for 70 W AI, (3) remote radiator. Hold metal CAD until T4000 + Rogue-T5 + ATS is on a bench with a thermocouple on the TTP. Still need DG-12084-001 and the AGX kit PDF.

Does sat count force T5000?
Stay on T4000 unless encode or I/O forces the bigger SOM. Firefly 8× GMSL2 boards are T5000-class.
