16MP IMX519 Autofocus Synchronized Quad-Camera Kit for Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA® Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/AGX Orin/Orin Nano/Orin NX

$ 169.99

 

  • 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.

Packing List

  • 4 ×16MP Camera Module
  • 1 ×UC-512 Camarray HAT
  • 5 ×30cm 15-22pin Camera Cable
  • 1 ×30cm 22-22pin Camera Cable
  • 1 ×7cm 15-22pin Camera Cable
  • 1 ×Screw Pack

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.

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. This camera kit supports the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye (Jan 28th, 2022 and later) and libcamera apps, for the previous Raspberry Pi OS (Legacy) users, contact [email protected] for support.

FaQs

For dual/quad channel mode, does the kit still use the full sensor as input?
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!
For single channel mode, what frame rate can I get and how fast can I capture and swtich betteen cameras?
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.
Can this work with your cable extension kit?
Yes.
