VA7000 Series: 8MP Camera-Mobileye EPM5 Connectivity

Video Transcript

“I’m pleased to be able to share with you this demo showing the mobili iq5 evaluation board the epm5 equipped with A5 connectivity. We have here a mobili camera head which contains an 8 megapixel on semi-ar0820 sensor sending CSI to data to a valence VA 7031 serializer which converts the CSI to data to mipi A5 protocol. We’re going to be transmitting the A5 stream over off-the-shelf kjcom Tech and leonidacar coax cables for distances of 15 meters.

The A5 stream will reach an adaptable containing the valence va7044d serializer where it will be converted back to CSI 2 for processing. The board is connected to mobilized standard iq5 evaluation board. The board also contains an additional VA 7031 chip which will daisy chain the data to a second remote VA 744d serializer connected to a second ECU. This will allow us to display the resulting video. So let’s take a look at the results on this monitor.

We can see mobilize logs of the packet successfully received. On another monitor we have the resulting camera image as well as the tunnels data parameters showing the channel bandwidth carrying a CSI 2 stream of 3840 by 1928 pixels with 12 pits per pixel of color at 30 frames per second for a total of 2.6 gigabits per second. I’d like to note that this solution is capable of handling the high bandwidth requirements of Next Generation image sensors, including cameras up to 15 megapixels with data rates of up to 8 gigabits per second. Each link supports up to 16 virtual channels while the system boasts the lowest in Industry packet error rate of 10 to the minus 19 and near zero latency.

In addition the fact that both CSI 2 and A5 are mipia line standards paves the waveform native integration of the Phi into the sensor completely eliminating the need for bridge Solutions. Mipiafi Solutions are designed to meet the needs of state-of-the-art ads and autonomous cars supporting complex topologies high bandwidth and strict safety requirements all while lowering total system cost.”
