Overview
  • 16 Megapixel: 2 times higher res, half the cost.
  • PDAF Breakthrough: Adopts the Mixture of PDAF and CDAF, achieves the unity of focusing speed and precision.
  • Sharper Images/videos: Higher quality than the HQ camera.
  • V1/V2 Size: hassle-free upgrades to your existing projects.
  • Open Source: truly accessible to all.

Overview

A 16MP autofocus high-resolution camera board that takes what Raspberry Pi V1, V2, and HQ have to offer, and excels in every single aspect.

It takes zero compromises in specs. With a resolution of 16 megapixels (compared to 8MP and 12MP), an autofocus lens, a V2-like form factor, and boatloads of improvements, the camera provide a better choice for a whole world of industrial/consumer/etc. applications, it’s compatible with any existing Pi models, work with the latest software from the foundation, and leverages the same tuning algorithms used in the official camera modules.

Currently, NVIDIA official has released the NVIDIA Jetson Orin series developer board. Based on it, we have also adapted the camera into NVIDIA Jetson Orin kernel.
