PAL/NTSC to MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board
Convert analog PAL/NTSC cameras to MIPI CSI-2 for Edge AI
PAL/NTSC TO MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board
An essential bridge board for converting analog PAL/NTSC video signals to MIPI CSI-2, enabling legacy analog cameras to work with modern digital embedded systems like NVIDIA Jetson.
- Converts PAL/NTSC to MIPI CSI-2
- Supports Analog Cameras (CVBS)
- Compatible with NVIDIA Orin Dev Kits
- Operating temperature range: –20 °C to +85 °C
- Compact 50x50mm Form Factor
Bridge Legacy Analog to Digital AI
Bring your legacy PAL cameras into the era of edge AI — without replacing your existing hardware. The PAL–MIPI Bridge Board is purpose-built to convert PAL analog video into a clean MIPI CSI-2 signal, making it instantly compatible with today's leading embedded AI platforms including the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, AVerMedia D133, Waveshare Jetson Orin IO Base Carrier Board and Raspberry Pi 5.
With support for three independent PAL composite video inputs, the board lets you connect multiple camera sources at once. Camera selection is dynamically controlled over I²C directly from the host processor — giving you full software-driven flexibility across inputs without any additional switching hardware. Real-time video streaming is maintained throughout, with precise synchronization and signal integrity preserved end to end.
Engineered for the demands of industrial and defence-grade environments, the board features a 12V regulated input with onboard power conditioning and an EMI-optimized design that ensures reliable, interference-free operation where it matters most. And at just 50 × 50 mm, it fits into the tightest edge AI enclosures without compromise.
Whether you're building robotics systems, machine vision pipelines, or defence imaging platforms — the PAL–MIPI Bridge Board is the bridge between your analog past and your AI-powered future.
