HDMI - MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board

Overview

The HDMI - MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board is a compact, high-performance interface module designed to convert HDMI video output into a MIPI CSI-2 stream for direct interfacing with embedded platforms.

The board is specifically optimized for use with Sony FCB-ER series HDMI block cameras and enables seamless integration with high-performance computing platforms such as Raspberry Pi 5

The solution supports low-latency, high-resolution video streaming up to 4K @ 60 fps, making it suitable for demanding embedded vision applications.

Key Features
  • Converts HDMI video signals to 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 output for high-speed video transfer.
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5.
  • Compatible with Sony FCB-ER HDMI cameras.
  • Supports 4K @ 60 fps (cameradependent).
  • I²C-to-UART bridge for VISCA control (3.3V CMOS level).
  • Compact 50 × 50 mm PCB, RoHS compliant.
  • 12 V regulated input.
  • Power LEDs for indication.
  • Operating temperature range: –20 °C to +85 °C.
Product Description

The HDMI–MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board is a compact, high-performance camera interface bridge designed to convert HDMI video output from Sony HDMI block cameras (FCB-ER8530, FCB-ER9500 and FCB-EW9500H) into a MIPI CSI-2 signal compatible with leading embedded AI computing platforms such as the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Super Nano Developer Kit, AVerMedia D133 Carrier Board, Waveshare Jetson Orin IO - Base carrier board and Raspberry Pi 5.

Built on a low-latency architecture, the adapter enables real-time 4K60 video streaming while maintaining precise synchronization and signal integrity.

The FCB cameras are controlled via a 3.3 V CMOS-level VISCA interface, connected to the Raspberry Pi 5 through an on-board I²C-to-UART bridge. This configuration enables comprehensive camera control — including zoom, focus, exposure, and other VISCA-supported functions — to be executed directly from the host platform through the same MIPI-CSI2 interface connector. As a result, no external serial adapters or additional control wiring are required.

Engineered for embedded vision and AI applications, the HDMI–MIPI Adapter features a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 output, a 12 V regulated input with onboard power conditioning, and industrial-grade EMI-optimized design for reliable operation in demanding environments. The board’s ultra-compact 50 × 50 mm footprint and plug-and-play electrical interface make it an ideal solution for AI edge systems, robotics, machine vision, and defence imaging platforms where low-latency, high-fidelity video transfer and embedded control are essential.

Functional Description

The board receives HDMI video input via a 30-pin micro-coaxial connector and converts it into a MIPI CSI-2 output stream.

Camera control is implemented through an on-board I²C-to-UART bridge, enabling direct control from the host processor without requiring additional hardware.
