THine Introduces THEIA-CAM 13MP PDAF Camera Kit for NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano
THine Solutions has introduced the THEIA-CAM 13MP PDAF Camera, THSCJ101, for NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano platforms, enabling easy integration of advanced imaging capabilities.
The THSCJ101 Kit is a Camera reference design kit for embedded camera applications using the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Jetson Orin™ Nano platform. It is based on THine’s THP7312-P Image Signal Processor (ISP) and Sony’s IMX258 13MP CMOS PDAF image sensor. THine’s optimized ISP firmware provides ultra-quick autofocus using Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) technology and Best-in-Class image quality.
The Kit hardware includes all items required to interface with Jetson Orin™ carrier boards with a 22-pin MIPI CSI-2 input connector, including a Camera Board in an acrylic case and a Flat Flexible Cable. The Video4Linux2 (V4L2) driver for the THSCJ101 is also available to control various video functions. The performance of each Kit is repeatable for use in high volume production due to our production process to characterize the image parameters of each image sensor and to calibrate the image signal processing to compensate for variation from sensor to sensor.
All technical information including the reference circuit schematics, ISP firmware, and V4L2 Driver are available to customers. Also, for customers that require unique image performance features, THine can provide a GUI based software development tool that customizes the ISP firmware and/or the image sensor selection. As a result, the THSCJ101 accelerates NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/Nano platform users’ time-to-market without expensive initial costs or additional effort for developing embedded camera systems.
“The key breakthrough we are providing with this solution is the quickest and reliable integration of Best-in-Class image quality and imaging performance into the world-leading AI platform,” said Tak Iizuka, Chief Solution Architect of THine Solutions, Inc. “By bypassing the camera system development and image quality tuning hassle as well as all in-production camera issues, AI system designers are able to focus on the AI development relying on our THEIA-CAM™ support.”
