Powered by ALVIUM Technology

ALVIUM® is a powerful, energy-efficient processor including an Image Signal Processor (ISP) and an Image Processing Library (IPL). It allows image corrections and pre-processing on the camera to optimize image quality and throughput for your application while offloading your CPUs on the embedded system.

Alvium FPD Link3 and GMSL2 cameras

Based on the Alvium MIPI CSI-2 cameras Allied Vision also offers Alvium cameras with FPD Link III or GMSL2.

Alvium FP3 cameras with FPD-Link III (Flat Panel Display Link) interface and Alvium GM2 cameras with GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) interface have been designed to overcome the limitations of standard CSI- 2 cameras. The enclosed CSI-2 based cameras come with integrated serializer and a rugged coaxial-based FAKRA connector for thin coax cables. With Alvium FP3/GM2 cameras, cable length up to 15 meters are possible. The coax cable can also been used to power the camera (Power over coax) enabling a single cable solution.
