Description

The EDATEC THSER101 MIPI Camera Extension Kit is a hardware solution designed to physically separate a Raspberry Pi camera module from its host computer. It consists of a transmit board connected to the camera and a receiving board connected to the Raspberry Pi’s CSI-2 port, linked by up to 20 meters of CAT5e cable. The kit utilizes THine’s V-by-One® HS serial link technology, which is pre-configured to handle the MIPI CSI-2 camera interface, ensuring a stable, high-bandwidth connection that appears transparent to the system.

This extension is ideal for applications where the camera must be mounted remotely from the processing unit, such as in enclosures, on robotic arms, or for surveillance. The kit maintains signal integrity over extended distances without requiring changes to the Raspberry Pi’s software stack or camera drivers, functioning as if the camera were directly connected to the CSI-2 port.

Key Features

  • Extends camera-to-computer distance up to 20 meters using common CAT5e LAN cable.
  • True plug-and-play installation with zero software or driver configuration required.
  • Implements V-by-One® HS high-speed serial link technology for robust signal transmission.
  • Full compatibility with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module ecosystem (V2, HQ, v1.3).
  • Supports all Raspberry Pi models, including Pi 4B, Pi Zero, and Compute Modules.
  • Maintains native MIPI CSI-2 interface protocol and camera functionality.
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware (screws and standoffs) for secure installation.

Applications

  • Remote surveillance and security camera systems with Raspberry Pi.
  • Robotics and drones requiring camera placement away from the main compute board.
  • Industrial machine vision and inspection systems with separated camera heads.
  • Educational and prototyping projects needing flexible camera positioning.
  • Smart home automation with discreet, remotely mounted camera sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Raspberry Pi camera modules are compatible with this extension kit?

The EDATEC THSER101 kit is fully compatible with the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 (version 2.1), the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, and the defined modes of the older 1.3 Raspberry Pi Camera Module. It supports the standard MIPI CSI-2 interface used by these cameras. The kit acts as a transparent bridge, so all camera features and software libraries (like picamera2) will function normally as if the camera were directly connected.

Do I need to install any drivers or configure software on my Raspberry Pi?

No, the kit requires absolutely no software configuration, driver installation, or coding. It is a pure hardware solution utilizing V-by-One® HS technology that is pre-tuned for plug-and-play operation. Simply connect the transmit board to your camera, the receive board to your Raspberry Pi's CSI-2 port, and link them with a CAT5e cable. The Raspberry Pi will detect and operate the camera immediately without any system changes.

What type of cable should I use for extensions longer than the included 2-meter cable?

For extensions up to the maximum 20-meter distance, you should use a standard CAT5e Ethernet cable. Ensure it is a straight-through cable (T568B wiring is typical) and of good quality to maintain signal integrity. The kit's performance is designed around the characteristics of CAT5e. Avoid using CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) cables for longer runs, as solid copper conductors provide better performance and reliability for the high-speed serial signals.
