PAL/NTSC – MIPI CSI-2 Pico Bridge Board

Overview

The PAL/NTSC – MIPI CSI-2 Pico Bridge Board is a compact camera interface bridge that converts analog PAL/NTSC video signals into a MIPI CSI-2 output for embedded AI platforms.

P/No: CM-YOR-PM

It is the compact version of the PAL/NTSC – MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board, with the same three-input design and I²C camera switching on a 30 × 30 mm PCB weighing 7.6 g.

The system supports three independent composite video inputs, with dynamic selection via I²C from the host processor, eliminating the need for external switching hardware.

Product Description

The PAL/NTSC – MIPI CSI-2 Pico Bridge Board converts PAL/NTSC analog video output from cameras into a MIPI CSI-2 signal compatible with leading embedded AI computing platforms such as the AstrOptix Orin Super Carrier Board, NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, AVerMedia D133 Carrier Board, Waveshare Jetson Orin IO Base Carrier Board and the Raspberry Pi 5.

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

The board supports three independent PAL/NTSC composite video inputs, allowing multiple camera sources to be connected. Camera selection can be dynamically switched via I²C control from the host processor, enabling flexible multi-camera operation without additional switching hardware.

Engineered for embedded vision and AI applications, the Pico bridge board features a single-lane MIPI CSI-2 output, a 12 V regulated input with onboard power conditioning, and an industrial-grade EMI-optimized design for reliable operation in demanding environments. Its ultra-compact 30 × 30 mm footprint makes it an ideal solution for edge AI systems, robotics, UAV payloads, machine vision and defence imaging platforms where space and weight are limited.

Supported Host Platforms

AstrOptix Orin Super Carrier Board, NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, Connect Tech Hadron Carrier, AVerMedia D133 Carrier Board, Waveshare Jetson Orin IO Base Carrier Board and Raspberry Pi 5.
