Streams ZED-X One cameras over the local network using HEVC encoding. At least one camera must be specified. Streams until Ctrl+C. The sender binds to the streaming NIC’s current IP — configure the interface before launching.
FlagDescription
--overhead SERIALSerial number of the overhead camera
--overhead-stereoTreat the overhead camera as a stereo ZED X instead of a mono ZED-X One. Both eyes are carried on the single overhead stream; receivers retrieve the left/right views. The wrist cameras are always mono.
--left-arm SERIALSerial number of the left-arm camera
--right-arm SERIALSerial number of the right-arm camera
--resolution {HD1080,HD1200,SVGA}Default: SVGA
--fps FPSDefault: 60
--bitrate KBPSHEVC bitrate in kbit/s (default: auto from resolution)
--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}Default: INFO

zed.stream runs on the ZED box (Jetson sender). The receiving process — collect-data or run-policy — runs on the main host. See the Data Collection and Policy Inference quickstarts for the full two-machine setup.
On startup the command restarts zed_x_daemon so cameras plugged in after boot enumerate. The restart needs root: under the quick install’s systemd service this is automatic; run interactively from a terminal, you may be prompted for your sudo password once.
