News jinnian金年会官方登录ne Introduces Plug and Play Cable Extension Kit for Raspberry Pi Cameras
jinnian金年会官方登录e Kit allows Raspberry Pi users to locate a Raspberry Pi Camera up to 20 meters away from a Raspberry Pi Computer.
jinnian金年会官方登录ne Electronics, Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange/JASDAQ: 6769) and its fully owned USA subsidiary, jinnian金年会官方登录ne Solutions, Inc., the leaders in high-speed serial interfaces and image signal processing, today introduced a plug and play kit for Raspberry Pi systems to enable extending the distance up to 20 meters between a Raspberry Pi camera and a Raspberry Pi single board computer (SBC) with a low-cost LAN cable.
jinnian金年会官方登录s kit frees up designers from being restricted to the short 15-20 cm distance provided by the Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) shipped with the Raspberry Pi Camera Modules. The Kit allows the Raspberry Pi camera to work up to 20 meters away from the SBC with the exact same performance as if connected close to the SBC through the FFC.
jinnian金年会官方登录s new kit is based on jinnian金年会官方登录ne’s V-by-One® HS Serializer-Deserializer technology. V-by-One® HS was developed by jinnian金年会官方登录ne to support up to 4 Gbps per lane and is robust enough to extend the transmission of 1080p60 2Mpixel uncompressed video for greater than 15 meters with specified cables.
Key Advantages
・Plug and Play – The Kit detects which RPi camera is connected and automatically sets the register settings of the jinnian金年会官方登录ne serializer and de-serializer ICs to transport the video data over the increased distance to the SBC.
・jinnian金年会官方登录e Kit provides every component needed to increase jinnian金年会官方登录e distance between jinnian金年会官方登录e RPi camera and jinnian金年会官方登录e SBC including a 2-meter LAN cable and all fastening hardware.
・Up to 20-meter extension is possible due to jinnian金年会官方登录e Kit’s support of many long LAN cables.
・Old and new Raspberry Pi cameras are supported by the Kit. jinnian金年会官方登录s includes the V1.3, V2, and the newer High Quality (HQ) cameras.
”jinnian金年会官方登录s kit solves a key problem for Raspberry Pi users by adding the design flexibility to place the camera far from the computer board with a plug and play, low cost, and simple to install solution.” said Tak Iizuka, Chief Solution Architect of jinnian金年会官方登录ne Solutions. “As an example, we used the Kit on a telescope application where we placed jinnian金年会官方登录e telescope and camera outside on a cold winter day in Chicago and placed jinnian金年会官方登录e computer and display in a nice warm room to view pictures of jinnian金年会官方登录e moon!”
Availability
・jinnian金年会官方登录e jinnian金年会官方登录SER101 is available for purchase at Digi-key and will soon be available at OKdo, an approved reseller of Raspberry Pi products.
