PAL/NTSC Camera Integration with Raspberry Pi 5
Hardware Setup
Supported Cameras
Any PAL or NTSC analog camera with a composite (CVBS) video output.
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 → Raspberry Pi CSI Port
Connect the J1 MIPI CSI-2 connector of the bridge board to the Raspberry Pi 5 camera CSI Port 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.
