Description
The Vision Processor D4 Board enables an easy and quick option for system integrators to integrate Vision Processor D4 into a system. Connects to Host USB 3.1 Gen 1 port through USB Type-C connector and cable. When connecting to host system, connect Type-C connection to the camera prior to connecting device to host system port.
Intel RealSense Vision Processor D4
The primary function of Vision Processor D4 is to perform depth stereo vision processing. The Vision Processor D4 on Host Processor motherboard or on Vision Processor D4 Board communicates to the host processor through USB2.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 or MIPI and receives sensor data from stereo depth module. The Vision Processor D4 supports MIPI CSI-2 channels for connection to image sensors.
