MIPI Monitoring Board
SVL-03-UVC
The SVL-03-UVC is a board for recording and displaying MIPI CSI-2 video signals. The input video can be output to a DisplayPort monitor and USB 3.2 Gen 2.
The SVL-03-UVC is a board developed by replacing the FX3, that is mounted on the SVM-06, with the EZ-USB™ FX10. With support for USB 3.2 Gen 2, it can now handle in-vehicle video transfer at 6 Gbps.
The transfer rate per MIPI lane is 1.5 Gbps per lane, supporting 4K video output.
The FPGA features two types: Lattice’s CrossLink, which supports MIPI D-PHY, and AMD Xilinx’s Artix-7. By using these two types of FPGAs appropriately, it can handle embedded data and multiple virtual channels.
Additionally, it has various functions such as capturing video from two sensors simultaneously to display them side by side, connecting multiple cameras to separate SVL-03-UVC boards, and synchronously capturing them on a PC.
The capture function supports both Windows and Linux environments. The main changes from SVM-06 to SVL-03-UVC are the shift to the EZ-USB™ FX series and the change from HDMI to DisplayPort. This board utilizes the same technology and know-how to maintain compatibility and convenience for our past users.
