Aptina sensor headboards typically support a parallel data interface. Some headboards support alternate data interfaces such as CCP, MIPI or HiSPi. These can be in-addition-to or in-place-of the parallel data interface. The physical serial output is via RJ-45 connector, using CAT6 cabling for interconnections. The number of interface data lines will determine the number of jacks and cables required:
Number of interface data lanes | Number of CAT6 connections required |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2, 3, or 4 | 2 |
| 8 | 4 |
Deserializer boards receive this serial data output and convert it into parallel form for input into the Demo2X. So the usual physical setup will consist of a sensor headboard connected to a deserializer board which is connected to a Demo2X. Various examples of these deserializer "assemblies" follow:
For detailed information on specific Aptina deserializer boards see the following:
- MIPI CCP RX (a.k.a. Single Lane MIPI) board
- DUAL MIPI RX (a.k.a. Dual Lane MIPI) board
- High Speed Serial Adapter Board (HSSAB)
- HDMI Low Cost (HDMI-LC) board
