Hi,
I am considering using VEYE cameras in a product line. Before I buy, I just want to clarify few things:

1. Can you confirm that MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M camera is supported by Jetson Jetpack 5.1 and 6.2? I ask because this camera is not listed on the wiki page:
   https://wiki.veye.cc/index.php/Mv_series_camera_appnotes_4_jetson

2. I would prefer to get the adapter with the 22 pin RPi interface, which I believe is the ADP-MV1-V2 board. However, I don't see a purchase link. On the Aliexpress page for MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M, it is not clear if it ships with the ADP-MV1-V2 or ADP-MV1 version adapter.

3. On the Aliexpress page for MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M camera ( https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005008643965893.html? ) if I choose the GMAX4002M ADP-MV1 variant, does it ship with the ADP-MV1-V2 variant of the adapter board? Also, is the C mount adapter included or do I need to buy separately?

4. Is there any issue or limitation I need to be aware of when using the MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M with Jetson Xavier NX and Jetson Orin NX? My application requires use in Freerunning and triggered modes, with using ROIs, and my application requires high frame rate (~200fps or more).

5. To me, this camera seems the best in high low-light sensitivity (big pixel size!). Is this a correct assumption among the Machine Vision or Raw series cameras?

6. What is the main difference between the MV series and RAW series cameras? I couldn't figure out the differences.

Sorry for the very long questions...I just want to make sure the camera fits my needs before I do any purchase.

Thansk and Best Regards,
Saad

I came to the forum asking exactly for this. It would be great to have some color cameras for Machine Vision. I see that the last answer was a year ago..by any chance the plans have changed?

Hi,

Thank you for your response. Ok, understood about no support for 720p60.

Alternatively, we could probably use 1080p30 also (need to look further and discuss with team). We could probably crop to our required image size inside the FPGA. 60fps is not critical.

To that end, I have few questions:

1. Is it possible to output HDR imagery over the MIPI interface (IMX327S/IMX385/IMX462) or do we need to do it inside our own fpga?
2. Is the I2C command set open, such that we could do the camera module configuration from our baremetal application?
3. Can you confirm my understanding that in this case our FPGA will be talking to the onboard ISP chip on your camera board over I2C, and not directly to the camera.
4. Roughly how much is the added latency due to your onboard ISP on the boards?
5. The auto exposure and white balance will be handled by the onboard ISP, and will not need to be handled by our FPGA, correct?

Thanks.

Hi,
I recently came across the VEYE cameras and they seem to show potential for a product that we're working on. We need to use the cameras with our own FPGA board with a RPi style 15 pin MIPI CSI2 connector.

Our main requirements are as follows:

• MIPI CSI2 interface (15 pin) compatible
• Very good low light performance
• Able to support 720p60
• Auto Exposure/White balance (camera internal)
• In-camera HDR if possible
• I2C sequence of commands to start the camera in above settings. We don't necessarily need the datasheet if we can just get a list.

I have seen your cameras based on IMX385, IMX327 and IMX462, however they only state 1080p30 as the output resolution. I am wondering if they are also configurable in 720p60 output mode with above options (Auto Exposure, HDR)?
Kindly help guide to the correct module.

Thank you.
