Deserializer Boards for embedded vision
Deserializer Boards convert camera signals so they can be used by the embedded processing platform.
In GMSL2 and FPD-Link III systems, the camera signal is transmitted over coaxial cabling. The Deserializer Board receives that signal and connects it to the host platform, making it an essential part of the complete embedded vision architecture.
Why choose Deserializer Boards?
Deserializer Boards are useful when an embedded vision system needs longer cable distances, robust signal transmission and remote camera placement.
Key advantages include:
- Support for GMSL2 and FPD-Link III camera integration
- Connection of up to four compatible cameras
- Support for long-distance coaxial cable setups
- Compatibility with IP67-rated coaxial PoC cables
- FAKRA connector support for robust system integration
- Integration with NVIDIA Jetson Orin reference designs
- Driver, SDK and software support for embedded development
Deserializer Boards for GMSL2 camera
Deserializer Boards for GMSL2 cameras connect compatible GMSL2 cameras to the embedded processing platform.
GMSL2 is suitable for embedded vision systems that need high-speed image transmission, long cable reach and rugged camera placement. The Imaging Source GMSL2 Deserializer Boards support Acuva IP67 GMSL2 cameras and data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps.
Deserializer Boards for FPD-Link III cameras
Deserializer Boards for FPD-Link III cameras connect compatible FPD-Link III cameras to the embedded processing platform.
FPD-Link III is suitable when the camera must be installed away from the processing board while maintaining reliable image transmission. The Imaging Source FPD-Link III Deserializer Boards support compatible 36C FPD-Link III cameras and data transfer speeds of up to 4.16 Gbps.
Deserializer Boards camera compatibility
Deserializer Boards compatibility depends on the selected camera interface, camera model and embedded processing platform.
The Imaging Source Deserializer Boards support up to four compatible Acuva IP67 GMSL2 cameras or 36C FPD-Link III IP67 cameras. The complete setup should be checked together, including camera, cable, Deserializer Board, carrier board and software environment.
Deserializer Boards cable compatibility
Deserializer Boards for GMSL2 and FPD-Link III systems are used with compatible coaxial PoC cables.
The Imaging Source ecosystem includes IP67-rated coaxial cables with FAKRA connectors in lengths from 1 m to 15 m. These cables support reliable camera placement when the sensor must be installed away from the processing platform.
Deserializer Boards for NVIDIA Jetson Orin
Deserializer Boards can be used with The Imaging Source NVIDIA Jetson Orin reference designs.
This allows GMSL2 and FPD-Link III cameras to be connected to an embedded vision platform where direct camera placement is not practical. The Deserializer Board helps bridge the camera connection between the remote camera and the processing hardware.
Deserializer Boards software support
Deserializer Boards integration depends on reliable camera drivers, SDKs and platform support.
The Imaging Source supports embedded vision development with device drivers, software development kits, programming samples, software tools and Linux ARM 64-bit support. Software support can include IC Imaging Control 4 SDK, depending on the selected camera setup and processing platform.
