SDI to MIPI CSI-2 Converter
SDI-to-MIPI bridge based on the Lattice CrossLink-NX FPGA that allows SDI-based systems to harness the power of embedded AI platforms.
It allows you to connect SDI inputs over long distances using a single coaxial cable to the otherwise short-range (but extremely popular and widely available) MIPI CSI-2 interface. The board has enabled various customer projects where the bridge is used together with Antmicro’s MIPI CSI-2 capable open hardware platforms, including the NVIDIA Jetson Baseboard or Snapdragon 845 Baseboard.
You can read more about the board in this Antmicro blog note.
