More Information

Boson is an AI vision powerhouse, integrating up to four MIPI cameras within an extremely small footprint. Boson maximizes sensor inputs and storage solutions for high-end vision applications. This carrier board provides customers with a plug and play vision solution that accelerates application development time. Compatible with NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX, and Orin™ Nano can seamlessly transition between modules should their processing needs change.

Boson has four FRAMOS PixelMate connectors directly on the carrier board.  These connectors allow users to directly connect up to 4x 2-lane or 2x 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 cameras.

Boson Integration Options

Direct camera integration to the carrier board eliminates the need for an adapter board and decreases the overall hardware stack height. Customers looking for a full stack option can choose to integrate Boson with their NVIDIA module of choice, available heat sinks, as well as other connectivity options.
