Introduction Running a CSI-2 image sensor on an NVIDIA Jetson often sounds more complex than it really is. In practice, the setup is straightforward once the base system is prepared correctly. This guide shows how to bring up the Kurokesu IMX462 camera on the Jetson Orin NX using NVIDIA’s official tools and Kurokesu drivers. Full […]
Read MoreCan industrial cameras be used for streaming?
In this video Minvydas from Kurokesu sets up a simple experiment: can industrial machine‑vision cameras double as tools for everyday video content creation and live streaming? He doesn’t dive into technical specs – instead he connects several cameras, presses record and lets the results speak for themselves. Setup To test the idea he uses four […]
Read MoreNew Slim FPC and Micro-Coax Cables for CSI-2 Cameras
While there are countless MIPI CSI-2 camera cables, the most common ones are 15-pin / 1mm pitch or 22-pin / 0.5mm pitch, compatible with Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson platforms. Kurokesu cameras use the 22-pin / 0.5mm pitch format with all four CSI-2 lanes routed. The majority of the market is covered by plain FFC […]
Read MoreC3 camera gets embedded connectivity
It’s been a while since you’ve asked for a more robust USB camera connector for embedded integration. Here it comes – all C3 USB cameras with M12/M12L lens mounts can now be assembled with a locking JST-GL connector. A newly developed USB ISP board mates with all current C3 image sensor boards and can be […]

We are working non-stop to offer the best cameras for your next projects! Today we’re unveiling three new board level cameras powered by image sensors: Onsemi AR0822, Onsemi AR0234, and Sony IMX477. And that’s not all – here’s a first teaser of our upcoming 1″ 20 MP module. All three newcomers share the same dimensions, wiring, and […]
Read MoreHow to Use IMX462 CSI-2 Cameras with Raspberry Pi
Setting up the IMX462 CSI-2 camera on Raspberry Pi is simple and well documented on our wiki pages. The exact steps vary slightly depending on the Raspberry Pi model, but all follow a similar pattern. Raspberry Pi 4 uses a 15-pin CSI connector, so a 15-to-22 pin FFC cable is needed to connect the camera. […]
