PAL - MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board (Raspberry Pi 5)
Overview
The PAL - MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board is a compact, high-performance interface designed to convert analog PAL/NTSC video signals into a MIPI CSI-2 output compatible with embedded AI platforms.
The board is optimized for seamless integration with platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX / Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, AVerMedia D133 Carrier Board, and Waveshare Jetson IO Base Carrier Board.
It enables real-time video acquisition from legacy analog cameras and delivers low-latency digital video streams suitable for AI inference, machine vision, and embedded imaging systems.
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–MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board is a compact, high-performance camera interface bridge designed to convert PAL analog video output from cameras 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 the and Raspberry pi 5
Built on a low-latency architecture, the adapter enables real-time video streaming while maintaining precise synchronization and signal integrity
The board supports three independent PAL composite video inputs, allowing multiple camera sources to be connected simultaneously. Camera selection can be dynamically switched via I²C control from the Jetson host processor, enabling flexible multi-camera operation without additional switching hardware
Engineered for embedded vision and AI applications, the PAL–MIPI Adapter 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. The board’s ultra-compact 50 × 50 mm footprint make it an ideal solution for edge AI systems, robotics, machine vision, and defence imaging platforms where low-latency, high-fidelity video transfer is essential.
