Adapters, Cables and Accessories for xiX family

xiSwitch-idea-platform-Embedded-accessories-multi-camera-black
Main focus of this page is to show the different ways how to interconnect Embedded camera models from xiX family line.
These can be attached to GPU modules like Jetson TX2, Xavier and Nano creating an Embedded vision system or arranged into a Multi-camera setup.
  • Meant for interconnections with miscellaneous systems
  • Mini PCIe, M.2, PCIe x4, x8, iPass, USB connections
  • Flat flex ribbon cables or iPass cables
  • Adapter boards, Host adapters, Switches, GPIO
  • Supports different combinations of interfaces and camera models
  • Ideal for Multi camera system setups like 360 panorama
  • Suitable for Embedded vision integration
  • Distances of output cable up to 100m
