Innodisk yesterday launched the industry's first MIPI over Type-C solution. The technology overcomes traditional MIPI cable lengths limitations, allowing embedded camera modules to be positioned farther from the system.
The solution expands the possibilities for visual AI applications, particularly in smart manufacturing and smart cities, enabling the integration of high-quality vision systems into these evolving environments. For example, AMRs and forklifts can now benefit from high-quality imaging and extended reach. Shared mobility applications, like shared bikes, can leverage the modules for enhanced safety and efficiency.
The increasing popularity of vision-based applications across industries highlights the critical need for high-quality, reliable camera solutions. As computer vision becomes a cornerstone of AI development, the demand for industrial-grade cameras continues to surge. Innodisk recognizes this need and has developed the MIPI over Type-C Solution to address the challenges faced by vision system integrators and developers.
Innodisk's MIPI over Type-C technology extends the connection distance to 2 meters or more, surpassing the previous 30 cm cable length limitation while maintaining high performance. It enables seamless conversion to a custom USB Type-C interface through a tailor-made adapter board and offers cost-effectiveness compared to SerDes solutions.
Additionally, this solution boasts successful deployments on NVIDIA Jetson, Intel x86, and ARM platforms, with Innodisk actively investing in R&D to ensure ongoing compatibility across various platforms, accelerating the deployment of edge AI applications for clients.
