Designed for Prototyping, industrial and serial Products

The VC MIPI® camera modules are perfectly suited for embedded vision projects with processors from the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini/Nano/Plus series. With available image resolutions from 0.3 MPixel to 20 MPixel, in monochrome and color variants as well as with global shutter, rolling shutter or global reset shutter, they offer maximum flexibility – from functional samples to product series. The VC MIPI® cameras are developed and manufactured in Germany, with the highest industrial quality and guaranteed long-term reliability.

How do I connect a MIPI Camera to an NXP Board?

Processor boards for NXP processors are available from numerous embedded manufacturers. Some of these use different MIPI connection options. We offer in-house developed and validated 22/15-pin flex cables, which can be used with many common processor boards, as well as individual FPC or coax cables including corresponding adapters. With the correct cable, connection and setup are quick and easy. We provide basic drivers that have already been adapted for many boards. We support you in adapting to new processor boards. When the processor boards with the new i.MX 95 processor series are ready for series production, we will also provide the corresponding drivers.

Select connection cable

Hardware setup

Install driver

An initial test provides direct information as to whether the image data is recorded correctly and transferred to the processor board. Once this has been verified, you can quickly start developing your application.

Suitable Accessories for a quick Development Start

VC offers lens holders for standard S-, C- and CS-mount lenses for the cameras, as well as cables, lighting, adapter boards and other accessories. The corresponding driver in source code are available for download.

This allows you to quickly and easily achieve proof-of-concept or your industrial-grade embedded vision solution with NXP and MIPI cameras. The MIPI camera modules are powered directly via the VC MIPI® FPC cable.
