Integration Steps

1
Camera → Bridge board

Connect your analog PAL/NTSC composite (CVBS) camera to one of the input connectors on the bridge board: J3 or J4 (MCX), or J5 (4-pin Molex, which also supplies 12 V to the camera).

2
Bridge board → Jetson CSI Port

Connect the J1 MIPI CSI-2 connector of the bridge board to the Jetson carrier board CSI Port [CAM1] using the 15 to 22-pin FPC cable.

3
Power Supply

Provide a regulated 12 V DC supply to the J2 connector of the bridge board.

Note

Up to three cameras can be connected at once. The host selects which input is converted to MIPI CSI-2 over I²C.
