HDR GMSL2 multi-camera solution for Connect Tech's Rudi-NX Embedded System

e-con systems™ has partnered with Connect Tech to deliver a Full HD GMSL2 HDR with LFM camera solution for NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX based Rudi-NX Embedded System. This camera is based on 2MP AR0233AT CMOS sensor bundled with a well-tuned Image Signal Processor (ISP). Its High Dynamic Range (HDR) capability ensures reliable images even in challenging outdoor light conditions. NileCAM21 is designed to stream 15m away from the Rudi-NX Embedded System (host processor) with very low latency. NileCAM21_CUXVR allows to connect upto four NileCAM21 cameras and enables synchronized Full HD streaming at 30 fps simultaneously.
