PAL/NTSC to MIPI CSI-2 Spec Sheet

The PAL/NTSC to MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board converts analog composite video from legacy PAL and NTSC cameras into a single-lane MIPI CSI-2 output for modern embedded vision platforms.

It supports up to three analog video inputs and allows the host processor to select the active camera through I²C. This makes it suitable for integrating existing CVBS cameras with NVIDIA Jetson Orin, Raspberry Pi 5, and other supported embedded systems.
