What is MIPI Interface
The MIPI Interface is a standardized interface used for inter-chip communication within Mobile devices, and is called the Mobile Industry Processor Interface.
Definition and background
The MIPI interface was developed by the MIPI Alliance (Mobile Industry Processor Interface Alliance), a consortium of companies that aims to provide efficient interface solutions for mobile devices. The emergence of the MIPI interface is mainly in response to the growing demand for smaller sizes, lower power consumption and higher data transfer rates in mobile devices.
Function and characteristics
High-speed data transmission: The MIPI interface supports high-speed, low-latency data transmission, ensuring that images, videos and other data can be quickly and accurately transferred to the processor for processing.
Low power design: The MIPI interface achieves a low power design by optimizing electrical characteristics and physical connectivity, making it ideal for use in battery-powered mobile devices.
Standardized interface: MIPI interface provides a set of standardized interface protocols, so that devices from different manufacturers can be seamlessly connected, increasing the flexibility and compatibility of the design.
Reduce the number of pins and board area: MIPI interface reduces the number of pins and board area through serial communication, which contributes to the miniaturization of mobile devices.
The birth of MIPI to IP network interface board
In view of the above advantages, SONY also launched a MIPI interface camera core module FCB-EV9500M, as SONY (China) official authorized distributor and high-definition video product secondary development solution provider. The MIPI to IP network interface board has been specially developed for this MIPI interface camera core module FCB-EV9500M.
However, many users mistakenly believe that the MIPI to IP network interface board can only be used with SONY FCB-EV9500M, and Danny Wong, a senior engineer at Xanzhan Technology, specially clarified the confusion for everyone.
The MIPI to IP network interface board is not only used with FCB-EV9500M.
Function and interface
MIPI to IP network interface board, also known as LVDS to IP network interface board, it has both MIPI interface and LVDS interface. This design allows it to support not only the FCB-EV9500M camera with MIPI interface, but also other cameras with LVDS interface, such as SONY FCB-EV9520L.
Application scenario
The main function of the MIPI to IP network interface board is to convert the video signal of the high-definition integrated camera into a network signal to realize the long-distance transmission and intelligent remote control of high-definition video. It is widely used in modern security monitoring, video conferencing, distance education and other fields. In these applications, the MIPI to IP network control board is compatible with high-definition integrated cameras of different brands and models to meet various monitoring scenarios and needs.
MIPI to IP network interface board is used with FCB-EV9520L
In fact, the MIPI to IP network interface board can be successfully used with the SONY FCB-EV9520L. When in use, make sure that the FCB-EV9520L HD integrated camera is connected to the correct LVDS interface of the MIPI network interface board, not the MIPI interface (because the MIPI interface is only suitable for use with the SONY FCB-EV9500M). After the connection is complete, through the correct Settings and plug-in installation, you can normally display the image of the FCB-EV9520L HD integrated camera on the computer or other devices, and carry out relevant control.
To sum up, the MIPI to IP network interface board developed by Xanx is not only limited to the use of FCB-EV9500M, it can also be compatible with other cameras with LVDS interfaces (such as SONY FCB-EV9520L). This compatibility makes MIPI to IP network interface board have more extensive application value in various application scenarios.
