The Power of TI’s V3Link Interface

As an industrial variant of FPD-Link III, V3Link is a multi-protocol physical layer technology that aggregates data from different industry standard protocols and transfers it over coaxial or twisted pair cables. It acts as a bridge between protocol-based data interfaces that transfer high bandwidth data over short distances, and in cases where the source interface does not match the sync interface, it can also work as a data converter.

The Power of Arducam & TI’s V3Link Solutions

Arducam consistently collaborates with Texas Instrument’s engineering team to provide you with the most adaptable, on-demand V3Link camera systems for various industrial applications.

Works w/ The Arducam MIPI Camera Portfolio

So you can use it with any of the Arducam MIPI CSI-2 cameras.
Instead of creating camera bundles, we want you to make your own kits that best suit your budget and application. The V3Link serializer board we designed is compatible with our entire collection of more than 100+ off-the-shelf modules encompassing various resolutions, lens types, frame rates, pixel sizes, sensor & shutter types.

Up to 15M Cable Length

For smaller footprints and flexible deployments.
Having longer cable lengths brings more benifits, especially for applications that not only require a high speed connection but also need to keep the camera as compact as possible and place it in constrained spaces far away from the hosts. Our V3Link solutions offers a stable cable connection of up to 15 meters on all 4 camera channels.

Multi-Camera Systems for Any Use Case

Giving everyone the freedom to create synchronized 4-channel vision systems.
Quad-camera systems where you get to control the specs will significantly drive the cost down for a wide range of automotive, surveillance, medical and industrial imaging applications, as our main focus, we strive to make the process easy for system developers.
