High-Quality HDMI to MIPI Conversion
Purpose-built for Sony FCB block cameras, the HDMI–MIPI Adapter Board converts the HDMI output of the FCB-ER8530 and FCB-EW9500H into a clean MIPI CSI-2 signal compatible with today's leading embedded AI platforms. Supporting the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, AVerMedia D133, Waveshare Jetson Orin IO — Base Carrier Board and Raspberry Pi 5, it delivers real-time 4K30 video streaming with precise synchronization and signal integrity maintained throughout.
What sets this board apart is its integrated camera control architecture. The FCB cameras are driven over a 3.3V CMOS VISCA interface, routed through an onboard I²C-to-UART bridge — meaning zoom, focus, exposure, and all other VISCA-supported functions are accessible directly from the host platform through the same MIPI CSI-2 connector. No external serial adapters or additional control wiring are required.
The board outputs over a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface, runs off a 12V regulated supply with onboard power conditioning, and is built for reliable operation in electrically demanding industrial and defence environments through its EMI-optimized design. At just 50 × 50 mm with a plug-and-play electrical interface, it integrates cleanly into space-constrained edge AI enclosures.
For teams building embedded vision systems around Sony FCB cameras, this adapter eliminates the integration complexity between camera hardware and modern edge AI platforms — all within a compact 50 × 50 mm footprint.

FAQs
How do I connect an HDMI camera to NVIDIA Jetson?
The HDMI to MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board connects between the HDMI output of the camera and the MIPI CSI-2 input of the Jetson.
Does the board convert 4K HDMI to MIPI CSI-2?
Yes. The board accepts up to 4K UHD HDMI input and outputs a 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 signal. Resolution support is dependent on the HDMI source camera — the Sony FCB-ER8530 outputs 4K at 30 fps over HDMI.
Which cameras work with the Oppila HDMI to MIPI bridge board?
Any camera with a standard HDMI Type A output. It is validated with Sony FCB-ER8530 (4K HDMI block camera) and FCB-EW9500H. Any HDMI-out camera can be used as an input source.
Which host platforms does the HDMI to MIPI bridge board support?
The board is compatible with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Jetson Orin NX, AVerMedia D133 carrier board, Waveshare Jetson IO-Base carrier board, Connect Tech Hadron carrier board, and Raspberry Pi platforms that have MIPI CSI-2 camera connectors.
