Neousys NVIDIA Jetson Platforms wit GMSL2 Camera Support and Pre-built Driver
Advanced Edge AI Vision with GMSL2 Camera Integration
Neousys NVIDIA Jetson platforms now support GMSL and GMSL2 automotive-grade cameras, unlocking powerful embedded vision capabilities for applications such as ADAS, autonomous vehicles, AMRs, teleoperation, and industrial inspection.
By combining rugged Jetson edge AI computers with GMSL2 cameras, these systems deliver high-quality, low-latency video in real-world conditions. Features such as IP67 waterproofing, high dynamic range (>120 dB HDR), auto white balance (AWB), and LED flicker mitigation (LFM) ensure reliable image capture from bright daylight to pitch-black environments.
Neousys further simplifies deployment with pre-built GMSL2 camera drivers (2MP to 8MP), already integrated into system images. This ensures seamless compatibility and accelerates time-to-market across industrial and automotive applications.

Why Choose GMSL Cameras for AI Vision?
While GigE and USB3 cameras have long been used in machine vision, GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) cameras bring unique benefits for embedded AI applications:
- Long transmission distances – up to 15m over coaxial or STP cabling.
- High data rates – up to 6 Gbps with GMSL2, supporting high-resolution video.
- Low latency – ideal for real-time decision making.
- Robustness – designed for shock, vibration, and harsh conditions.
- Simplified cabling – video, power, and control over a single cable.
With HDR, AWB, and LFM technology, GMSL cameras consistently deliver clear images in variable light conditions, outperforming traditional camera standards for AI-driven applications.
GMSL Technology Generations – From GMSL1 to GMSL3
GMSL technology has evolved rapidly to meet the growing demands of automotive and industrial AI applications. Each new generation offers higher bandwidth, better image quality, and stronger support for complex vision systems.
GMSL1
First Generation
The original Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL1) was developed to address the need for high-speed video transmission in automotive applications.
GMSL2
The Current Standard
GMSL2 represents a major leap forward, doubling the available data rate and supporting advanced multimedia streams.
GMSL3
Next-Generation Performance
The latest evolution, GMSL3, pushes bandwidth even further, enabling the most demanding autonomous and AI vision applications.
Feature | GMSL1 | GMSL2 | GMSL3 |
---|---|---|---|
Data Rate | Up to 3 Gbps | Up to 6 Gbps | Up to 12 Gbps |
Cable Length | Up to 15 m | Up to 15 m | Up to 15 m |
Power Delivery | Basic PoC (limited) | Enhanced PoC | Advanced PoC for high-power sensors |
Video Support | Standard video, limited resolution | High-resolution uncompressed video, HDR, LFM, AWB | Multiple ultra-high-resolution streams with advanced synchronisation |
Applications | Entry-level ADAS, reversing cameras, infotainment | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), AMRs, teleoperation, machine vision | Fully autonomous driving, multi-camera arrays, complex sensor fusion, high-end robotics |
Limitations | Bandwidth too low for modern AI | Current industry standard, but capped at 6 Gbps | Cutting-edge, higher cost, still emerging ecosystem |
Which Version Should You Choose?
- GMSL1 – Sufficient for legacy and low-bandwidth applications.
- GMSL2 – The best balance of performance, cost, and ecosystem support today.
- GMSL3 – Cutting-edge, designed for next-generation AI systems with extreme bandwidth demands.
Neousys Jetson platforms are optimised for GMSL2 – providing the reliability, performance, and ruggedisation required for real-world AI deployments today, while maintaining a roadmap toward GMSL3 adoption as the technology matures.
2D vs 3D GMSL2 Cameras – Choosing the Right Solution
Camera Type | GMSL2 2D Camera | GMSL2 3D Camera |
---|---|---|
Applications | Object detection, recognition, quality inspection | Obstacle detection, navigation, surface analysis |
Ease of Integration | Works with standard 2D vision algorithms | Requires depth-aware software integration |
Environmental Sensitivity | More affected by lighting/texture variations | Handles complex lighting and textures more effectively |
Data Transmission | High-resolution 2D video with low latency | High-bandwidth transmission of 2D + depth data |
2D GMSL2 Cameras – Ideal for ADAS, visual inspection, and applications where depth is not required.
3D GMSL2 Cameras – Add spatial awareness for autonomous navigation, advanced robotics, and detailed manufacturing inspection.
