MIPI CSI-2 CAMERA MODULES FOR EMBEDDED VISION

VC MIPI® cameras are perfectly suited for the fast, simple and cost-effective development of embedded vision solutions. Thanks to the MIPI CSI-2 interface as a widely used standard, the camera modules can be combined with numerous processor boards. All VC MIPI® cameras and embedded vision systems are developed and manufactured by us in Germany. They also offer further advantages:

Ultra compact

The camera modules are barely larger than the respective image sensors themselves and can be flexibly integrated. This opens up new possibilities for innovative products – in industry as well as for portable devices, drones and vehicle applications.

Powerful

The fast image processing rates and high resolution of the image sensors make VC MIPI® modules extremely powerful. State-of-the-art signal processing technologies enable precise image analysis and processing in real time.

Large product range

We offer the widest range of image sensors, from extremely cost-effective MIPI cameras to high-end sensors with 20 megapixels and more, with global shutter, rolling shutter or global reset shutter. For individual projects, we adapt standard modules or develop new cameras with customer-specific image sensors.

What is a MIPI Camera? What does MIPI CSI-2 stand for?
And what makes VC MIPI® different?

MIPI cameras were originally developed for smartphones and other mobile applications. They utilize the MIPI CSI-2 interface (Camera Serial Interface-2) defined by the MIPI-Alliance (Mobile Industry Processor Interface Alliance) for fast data transfer between the camera sensor and the processor board. This is why they are also referred to as "CSI cameras", which is even more technically accurate. VC MIPI® Camera Modules extend the technology to industrial applications and series products: They are price-optimized, long-term available and robust.

Looking for a special sensor?

VC MIPI® Camera Modules have been specially developed for deployment in industrial applications and series products. They are available with numerous image sensors, including types that do not natively support a MIPI interface. Can't find the sensor you are looking for? Talk to us! Maybe it's already on our roadmap!
