Vision Components presents its new VC MIPI Bricks system at Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston, April 30 - May 01. VC MIPI Bricks is a modular system based on perfectly matching components and comprises camera modules, accessories and services, right through to ready-to-use MIPI cameras and complete embedded vision systems. It aims to make vision integration as easy as possible.
In addition to cables and drivers, the range also includes FPGA accelerators and comprehensive services. Also on display at the Robotics Summit & Expo: the phyBOARD for VC MIPI development kit from Phytec with NXP i.MX 8M Plus and i.MX 8M Mini processor. It is part of the VC MIPI Bricks system and works plug-and-play with all VC MIPI Camera Modules.
From cameras to complete embedded vision systems
The VC MIPI Bricks system is perfectly matched to the more than 50 VC MIPI Cameras and the requirements of industrial projects. It includes FPC and coax cables for flexible connection as well as the various VC Power SoM FPGA accelerators for image pre-processing. On request, the cameras are also available ready-to-use, with optics, fully assembled and calibrated. VC also undertakes individual adaptations of the modules. For complete, customized embedded vision systems and development support from the initial idea through to integration, VC works with Notavis, part of the VC Group. Notavis specializes in the development of embedded vision systems.
Development kit for VC MIPI Cameras and i.MX 8M Plus / 8M Mini
Part of the VC MIPI Bricks system are the two Phytec phyBOARD for VC MIPI development kits with NXP i.MX 8M Plus and i.MX 8M Mini processor, which enable functional tests and direct start into development. They support all VC MIPI Cameras, including functions such as the processing of image data in the ISPs of the i.MX 8M Plus processor and edge and AI computing with the integrated NPU units. Both kits are available from PHYTEC and VC. The desired VC MIPI Camera can be freely selected.
VC MIPI Cameras supported by LibCamera
Another new feature disclosed at the Robotics Summit is the support of the VC MIPI Camera Modules in the LibCamera open source library. This enables even easier commissioning of VC MIPI Cameras with all processor platforms. Vision Components also provides its own camera drivers with an extended range of functions as source code free of charge. As a result, VC MIPI Bricks ensures comprehensive compatibility of hardware and software and fast, simple and cost-effective integration.
