16MP IMX519 Autofocus Synchronized Quad-Camera Kit for Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin/Orin Nano/Orin NX
SKU
B0388
- Multiplexing with ultra high res: 4 x 16mp cameras on 1 Pi.
- Synchronized: up to 4 cameras capturing at the same time.
- Autofocus: AF/Manual/Continuous-AF out of the box.
- Better Control: single/dual/quad channel modes.
- Highly Compatible: libcamera-ready, works well with most Pi models.
- Four in One: Combine four cameras into one frame, each camera with a max resolution of 2328(H)x1748(V)
-
For NVIDIA JetsonL4t 35.x Jetpack5.x and above versions , you will need the latest CamArray Kit firmware (no earlier than the 2023.02.03 version) to access it.(otherwise you can only use them on previous JetPack versions).

Overview
A quad-camera kit that allows you to use up to four 16MP autofocus cameras on a standard Raspberry Pi model.
By default, the kit works in a quad-channel mode where all cameras are configured to capture stills/videos at the exact same time.
Supported Modes
Single Channel (no sync):
4 cameras work consecutively where one camera captures after the other. Full res for each.
Dual-Channel (synced):
2 cameras merged into 1 full-res frame, working synchronously. 1/2 res for each.
Quad-Channel (synced):
4 cameras merged into 1 full-res frame, working synchronously. 1/4 res for each.

Note
- 1. The four-channel camera adopts the 2×2 synthesis method. The images of cameras 0 and 1 are completely synchronized, the images of cameras 2 and 3 are completely synchronized, and the images of cameras 2/3 are one frame behind the images of cameras 0/1.
- 2. The resolution of the synthesized image remains unchanged, but the frame rate is halved. This Kit Combines four cameras into one frame, each camera with a resolution of 2328(H)x1748(V).
- 3. If any camera fails, the composite image can still be output, with the corresponding area of the failed camera being black.
- 4. Official Commands and ISP are supported on Raspberry Pi Platforms.
- 5. The four-channel camera is a customized model, requiring HAT to provide a clock. It cannot be removed and is directly connected to the Raspberry Pi.
- 6. The driver of the kit is mainly developed based on the Raspberry Pi/ Nvidia Jeston official board, and there is no guarantee that the third-party board can be used (Due to the different allocation of hardware resources, it may not be compatible)
- 7. Due to the hardware limitations of the NVIDIA Jetson platform, this product does not support ISP functionality. If a pre-tuned ISP solution is required, please refer to Arducam xISP series or Arducam TrueSight Series
FaQs
Q1: For dual/quad channel mode, does the kit still use the full sensor as input?
A1: When it’s in sync/4-channel mode, it uses ¼ the pixels of each sensor as input. When you switch to single-channel mode, you can get one camera at full resolution!
Q2: For single channel mode, what frame rate can I get and how fast can I capture and swtich betteen cameras?
A2: You can get roughly ~8 frames (full res) per second with single-channel mode, and the HAT we designed has the ability to switch to the next camera after each frame, so in theory, you can switch between cameras every ~125 ms (⅛ s), but, and it’s a huge but, it also depends on how fast you can store that full res image, whether you want the HAT to switch to the next camera after a frame’s captured or stored, which Raspberry Pi model you use, etc.
Q3: Can this work with your cable extension kit?
A3: Yes.
