Arducam GMSL2 8MP Camera Extension Kit for Raspberry Pi

Long-term use – reliable and high-quality image transmission over distances of up to 15 meters, without loss of image quality.
GMSL2 technology – advanced SerDes technology from ADI, which provides high bandwidth and extremely minimal latency.
High-quality streaming – SONY IMX219 sensor with 8 megapixel resolution, ensuring exceptional image quality.
Simple and economical solution – transmission of all signals in a single cable, which reduces weight, power consumption and installation complexity.
Backward compatibility – also supports the GMSL1 series (according to the notes on the data sheets), which allows for easy and quick upgrades.
Diverse uses – beyond automotive uses, the system is also suitable for robotics, security systems, industrial automation, precision agriculture and smart cities.

The Arducam GMSL2 8MP Extension Kit is designed to extend the connection range of a Raspberry Pi camera up to 15 meters, while maintaining high image quality and without latency. The kit uses GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link v2) technology, which allows for a simple and efficient connection with a standard network cable (Ethernet).
