VID.EX as a Frame Generator

Price

€2,199.00

All our prices are excluding VAT.

VID.EX bridges the gap between industrial performance and consumer-driven simplicity. Built on the Raspberry Pi 5 and enhanced with a dedicated FPGA module, it delivers professional-grade video interface capability in a compact, accessible platform.

Designed for automotive and industrial camera and display applications, VID.EX supports modular video standards through interchangeable interface modules.

VID.EX s a Frame Generator is capable to contain up to four specialized video transmit modules to act as a transmitter (Source/Serializer).

VID.EX comes as a pre-configured and fully assembled kit. The kit consists of:

embicas VID.EX base PCB
embicas VID.EX interface modules as selected below
Raspberry Pi 5 4GB variant
Active cooler
SD card (32GB)
Cobalt blue aluminum case

If your variant is missing, please contact us and we can discuss our roadmap or project adaptions. You can find on our website an overview of upcoming interface modules.
