D400 cameras backed up until October

RTasa — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 13:36:30 GMT

That was disappointing news I read on the web page this morning.

Yes, I understood that this would be difficult for you as you need to finalize your plans in September, so you need more information about the D-cameras now. I wonder if the documentation links that I set up yesterday will provide enough details for you to make an informed decision.

I read through it and it seems pretty basic.

I am not familiar enough to know but I can guess the image comes in at RGBD format? Is it 16 bit or 8? I am guessing this is all on linux then?

Wonder what the price point will be. < the Euclid since its only the camera.

You are most welcome!

The SDK works with Windows and Linux. More information about the D-camera tech spec should be revealed when it appears on the Click store. It is likely that the docs on the Librealsense site's development branch will continue to be updated in the meantime.

I found a link to a short university technical paper that discusses some details of the D-camera under its former name of RS400 on the last page, page 8. It is linked to from the official readme page of Librealsense, so can be considered a trusted, approved source.

Are there any updates regarding the release of the D435? Will it be released in October?

Re: D400 cameras backed up until October

I haven't heard anything about the release date of the D-cameras changing from October. My guess would be that they are running down the stocks of the existing camera models in the Click online store before clearing the listings and just having the D415 and D435 in the store.

I just noticed that this morning they removed the "Will be released in October" text from the official page. https://software.intel.com/en-us/realsense/d400 Overview of the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera | Intel® Software

I don't think that the removal of the mention of October is significant, as they have just changed the page from its briefly detailed preview version to the final version with the full tech spec in advance of the camera going on sale.

There is a buy button now. I keep pushing but it has not shown up as an item to purchase.

Re: D400 cameras backed up until October

MartyG — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 19:09:08 GMT

Yes, the Documentation link also does not yet show the SDK 2.0 documentation, as the newest doc update is July 28. The store and doc pages have not yet caught up with the updates on the camera tech spec page.

I am starting to believe that released in October meant October 31st.

If that were the case, one would have to question whether you were going to get a trick or a treat on that date.

In seriousness though, I completely understand what you mean, as there are tests and experiments that I want to run with the D-cameras myself but can't.

D435 trick or Treat it is I guess.

Re: D400 cameras backed up until October

MartyG — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 15:46:03 GMT

Still 3 full days to spare, so they could surprise you yet. At least the documentation page that the D-camera info site links to received an update today (see the mobile robot article).

A german distributor told me yesterday that they will start shipping the D435 by the second week of January. The Click Store Support didn't comment this and couldn't give me any specific release date, but i really hope they will have the new RealSense generation in stock earlier.

Re: D400 cameras backed up until October

MartyG — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:05:11 GMT

That timeline would be consistent with the report of another user who was recently quoted a wait of at least six weeks by major Intel Approved Distributor company Mouser before they would have stock of the D-cameras. I would expect the Click store to be first to have stock earlier than that though.

I guess October was a Trick no Treat

Anyone heard any word about the D435 camera release date?
