Lattice Announces Sensor Interface Extender

Marketwire: Lattice announces the SensorExtender reference design to remotely locate image sensors up to eight meters away from the ISP and transmit and receive video signals at resolutions that range up to 720p60 and 1080p30. The reference design uses inexpensive low-cost Cat5E cable to carry HD video and to send I2C sensor control signals from the ISP during the vertical blanking period. Three twisted pairs carry the video and commands while a fourth pair provides power and ground to the remotely located sensors.
