GMSL

GMSL stands for Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link. It’s a high-speed serial interface technology (originally developed by Maxim Integrated, now Analog Devices) used to transmit video, data, and control signals over a single coaxial or shielded twisted-pair cable.

In practical terms, GMSL is commonly used for:

  • High-resolution camera connections
  • Long cable runs (often up to 15–30 metres)
  • Low-latency, high-bandwidth video transmission
  • Automotive, robotics, and industrial vision applications

When you see GMSL2, that refers to the second generation, which supports higher bandwidth, higher resolutions, and multiple synchronized cameras—perfect for AI vision systems like Jetson-based platforms.
