VID.EX
VID.EX bridges the gap between industrial performance and consumer-driven simplicity. With the extension FPGA module for Raspberry Pi 5, 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. This flexible architecture enables fast adaptation to evolving project requirements while maintaining long-term scalability.
Boost your development by using our code as a starting point. Build on ready-to-use open-source projects and libraries, or seamlessly integrate your own software to reduce integration effort and significantly shorten development time.
VID.EX brings complex video connectivity directly to your desk — compact, cost-efficient, and future-ready.
