Camera Integration
Supported Cameras
| Supported Cameras | Validated Cameras |
|---|---|
| Sony / Tamron / KT&C / Videology / Wonwoo / Skoopia LVDS cameras | Sony (FCB-EV9520L, FCB-EV9500L), Tamron (MP3010M-EV), KT&C (ATC-HZ5540T-LP), Videology (24Z2.1W-10X-LVDS-462) |
Hardware Setup
Connect the LVDS camera to J2 (LVDS_IN) using a 30-pin micro-coaxial cable.
Connect J5 (GMSL3_OUT) to a compatible GMSL3 deserializer board using a 50 Ω GMSL3 coaxial cable (FAKRA Z-coded cable).
Connect the deserializer board to the host platform's MIPI CSI-2 camera connector.
Provide a regulated 12–24 V DC supply to J3 (PWR_IN). A 12 V / 2 A supply is recommended.
Camera Control
The camera can be controlled through one of two paths:
Bidirectional GMSL3 Link
VISCA camera control travels over the GMSL3 bidirectional control channel, so the camera can be operated and configured remotely from the host.
External TTL UART
Controls the camera directly from an external system via TTL-level UART.
Warning
The GMSL3 control path and the external UART interface are alternative control methods and should not be operated simultaneously.
