Basler adds models with a BCON for MIPI interface to their dart camera module series. This innovative product concept combines the established MIPI CSI-2 interface from the embedded arena with the high camera standards and the typical long-term availability of the machine vision industry.

The dart camera modules with BCON for MIPI interface are well positioned to fully harness the ISP of select embedded platforms in the Qualcomm Snapdragon extended life product portfolio on a Linux Open Embedded operating system (Linaro). Basler supplies not only a high-quality camera module with 5 megapixel resolution and 60 fps based on the ON Semiconductor AR0521 sensor but also the appropriate driver package for controlling the sensor and image acquisition via the MIPI CSI-2 interface. Users receive an industry-ready, robust embedded vision system with outstanding image quality and no integration effort.
