MIPI Camera SerDes Starter Kit from THine Electronics Does Away with Need for Development or Environmental Setup

- Long-distance Transmission Possible with Image Output from Very Beginning -

THine Electronics, Inc. released an instructional video with Korean subtitles for the company’s MIPI* Camera SerDes Starter Kit in March 2023. The starter kit, available since February 2023, helps to accelerate the development of systems that transmit images from embedded cameras such as AI cameras and streaming cameras for industrial use, dramatically shortening the period needed for their design.

AI cameras are increasingly utilized in industrial settings. However, a significant amount of time was usually required to develop a system that enabled images to be transmitted over long distances, a challenge when deploying high-resolution cameras in industrial settings. The kit, now on offer, resolves this issue by making it possible to transmit moving images in four different resolutions, from 1.3 million pixels to 8 million pixels, over a maximum distance of 15 meters, dramatically shortening the time required to design a system prototype.

By connecting the camera module to the transmitter board and the specified grabber board (the device that captures the images) to the receiver board, and connecting the transmitter and receiver boards with an Ethernet cable, users can start evaluating SerDes in an environment with image output from the very beginning, without having to spend time developing hardware or developing or setting up the environment for software.

When transitioning to a mass production design, too, the kit provides reference circuit schematics, reference values for initial register settings that connect the image transmitter and receiver boards, and a separately provided GUI tool (a register setup tool that employs a graphical user interface for intuitive operation), all of which significantly reduce the design and development times needed for transition to mass production and enable faster digital transformation (DX) implementation in industrial settings.

THine Electronics’ High-speed Data Transmission Product, Compatible with Multiple Cameras, Adopted in Drive Recorder Produced by Owltech

THine Electronics, Inc. is pleased to announce that its unique solution for transmitting images from vehicle-mounted cameras, the V-by-One (R) HS chipset, has been adopted in Owltech Co., Ltd.'s omnidirectional high-quality image drive recorder “OWL-DR803FG-3C,” which is the winner of the home appliances of the year award by a Japanese magazine in 2020. The chipset is used in vehicle-mounted applications that involve the use of multiple cameras, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), surround view systems (SVS), driver monitoring systems (DMS), and electronic mirrors (e-mirrors).

The drive recorder has advantages such as being able to record simultaneously from three cameras in the front, rear and inside of a vehicle, and providing reliable high-quality images even at night. The rear camera has FHD, while the front camera has a clearer WQHD and delivers high-resolution and high-quality images. Despite using an 8m-long cable to connect to the rear camera, the drive recorder is able to transmit high-resolution images.

By using the V-by-One (R) HS chipset, images from multiple vehicle-mounted cameras such as the front and rear cameras can be transmitted, and at the same time, images from up to four cameras can be managed in a single chip to facilitate the transmission of digital data in high resolution. With FHD and 4K images, the drive recorder will be able to obtain a clearer rear view and record clearly when an accident occurs.

In addition, it will be able to acquire the advantage of obtaining a uniform image quality, without critical disadvantages for AI image processing, such as changes in video quality caused by individual cable differences, deterioration over time, and connector wear, which are seen in analog data transmission.

The THine Group is developing its enterprises under two pillars: its LSI business, which leads the world in the field of high-speed interfaces and image-processing technology, and its AIOT business, which creates intellectual property and provides various solutions in the field of AI and IoT.
