Body: <p>I recently saw the Jetson Xavier from NVIDIA (<a href="https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-xavier-faq" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-xavier-faq</a>).</p>
  
  <p>I need to connect 16 12MP cameras like this one: <a href="https://www.baumer.com/it/en/product-overview/image-processing-identification/industrial-cameras/lx-series/10-gige-interface/vlxt-123c-i/p/38561" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.baumer.com/it/en/product-overview/image-processing-identification/industrial-cameras/lx-series/10-gige-interface/vlxt-123c-i/p/38561</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I have 2 questions:
  1) can the interface provided manage at least 8 of them? These are the specs:
  - 16x CSI-2 Lanes (40 Gbps in D-PHY V1.2 or 109 Gbps in CPHY v1.1)
  - 8x SLVS-EC lanes (up to 18.4 Gbps)</p>
  
  <p>2) Xavier boasts (2x) 4Kp60 | HEVC video decoding. 4k is too little for 12MP...can I split the 8 cameras video stream in 2, and encode the upper and lower part of the images in 2 separate videos, leveraging the HW encoder? Can it encode 16 video streams (2x8) at the same time?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
