MIPI Monitoring Board
SVM-06

SVM-06 is a board for recording and displaying MIPI CSI-2 video signals. It can output to both HDMI and UVC (USB3.0/PC), providing the convenience of displaying images on a monitor while simultaneously capturing them on a PC.
The transfer rate is 1.5Gbps per MIPI lane, and it supports video output in 4K resolution.
It also has various functions: capturing Embedded Data and multiple Virtual Channels; simultaneously capturing videos from two image sensors and displaying them side by side; capturing videos from multiple cameras using this board for the number of cameras.
The capture function is compatible with Windows and Linux environments that support UVC.
Characteristics
- Supports MIPI CSI-2 1.5Gbps / lane
- Output to USB3.0 & HDMI simultaneously
- Compatible with 6Gbps automotive deserializer
