STEVAL-16GZMAI1 VD16GZ S-Board: MIPI CSI-2 kit for integrating VD16GZ image sensor on MPU and MCU boards

The VD16GZ S-Board is a comprehensive and versatile hardware kit for evaluating and integrating the VD16GZ image sensor. It contains all the necessary hardware, from electronics to optics, to perform a thorough product evaluation or to integrate the product directly into the rest of the system in an instant.

The kit includes a sensor board embedding a VD16GZ image sensor with an FFC output connector, a M12 lens holder, a default nonglued lens, and a ribbon cable.

Integration onto embedded processing platforms is instantaneous thanks to the FFC connector and cable, which offer plug-and-play connection to platforms. Compatible Linux drivers are available for free download on st.com providing seamless software integration.

With its well-thought-out architecture, the VD16GZ S-Board offers maximum flexibility for customizing your setup. The nonglued lens embedded in the kit gives the flexibility to focus it to your needs or simply to remove it to use a different lens. Equipped with an M12 lens holder, the kit can be customized to your application with a broad range of M12 or smaller off-the-shelf lenses. Its standard FFC connector allows connecting cables of various lengths or pinout to adapt your setup.

The VD16GZ S-Board can also be used to perform sensor evaluation on a PC. It just needs to be connected to the generic EVK Main hardware from ST to be turned into a USB solution for PC-based evaluation. A complementary evaluation software GUI for PCs is available for free download on st.com.
