Silicon Line, EverPro, and Leopard Imaging partner to demonstrate active optical cables for MIPI D-PHY-based camera interconnects at Vision 2024. The demo will show how the D-PHY-based active optical cables (AOC) transport a high-resolution 4K video from cameras over long cable lengths and with low power. The AOCs use Silicon Line’s SL8501x 10Gbps serializer/de-serializer IC and provide high-speed optical transmission of 4K uncompressed MIPI video from Leopard Imaging’s cameras. The AOCs optically transport serialized MIPI D-PHY video from high-resolution 4K cameras across cable lengths of up to 30m and come with Type C connectors which are IP67 compatible.
