Description :
The Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 is a 20MP color camera module powered by the Onsemi Hyperlux LP AR2020 sensor. It combines high resolution imaging with the GMSL2 SerDes interface for dependable video transfer across long cable runs. The 1/1.8" sensor and 1.4µm BSI pixels record sharp and true color images even when lighting is poor.
GMSL2 moves video and control data and power over one coaxial cable. This allows the module to sit well away from the host processor with no loss in image quality. The rugged Armor series build makes this camera module a reliable choice for autonomous mobile robots and industrial vehicles and outdoor vision systems. It connects to NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms through a compatible GMSL2 deserializer board.
Core Benefits:
20MP Color Resolution: Records fine detail at 5120 x 3840 for inspection and analytics and wide area monitoring.
Hyperlux LP Low Light Performance: BSI pixels produce clean color images in dim scenes with minimal noise.
High Bandwidth Long Reach: GMSL2 delivers high speed video over coaxial cables across long distances between the module and the host.
Single Cable Design: Video and control data and power share one cable to cut wiring effort and installation time.
Low Latency Streaming: Direct SerDes transfer keeps delay minimal for real time decisions in moving platforms.
Multi Camera Ready: Pairs with multi-port GMSL2 deserializers for synchronized multi camera setups.
Rugged Armor Build: Engineered to handle vibration and harsh field conditions in automotive and industrial use.
Applications:
Autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles
Advanced driver assistance and surround view systems
Agricultural and construction vehicles
Smart traffic and intelligent transportation systems
Industrial inspection and factory automation
Drones and unmanned ground vehicles
Smart surveillance and perimeter security

What sensor does the 20MP GMSL2 SerDes Camera use?
The Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 GMSL2 SerDes Camera is built on the Onsemi Hyperlux™ LP AR2020 CMOS sensor. It delivers 20MP color images at a maximum resolution of 5120 × 3840, featuring 1.4µm BSI pixels for detailed imaging and improved low-light performance.
What are the video formats supported by the camera?
The Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 uses the GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2) SerDes interface for high-speed video and control data transmission. An onboard serializer converts image data for transmission over a single coaxial cable to a compatible GMSL2 deserializer connected to the host processor.
What are the key benefits of a GMSL2 SerDes Camera for embedded vision systems?
A GMSL2 SerDes Camera enables high-speed, low-latency image transmission over long coaxial cable connections. It supports Power over Coax, simplifies system wiring, and enables flexible camera placement in autonomous vehicles, robotics, industrial automation, and other embedded vision applications.
What is the maximum cable length supported by the Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 SerDes Camera?
The Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 GMSL2 SerDes Camera supports coaxial cable runs of up to 15 meters, based on Vadzo Imaging's testing. Available cable options include 1m, 3m, and 15m, providing flexibility for installations where the camera must be positioned away from the host processor.
Does the Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 GMSL2 SerDes Camera come with a lens?
Yes. Standard evaluation samples of the Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 GMSL2 SerDes Camera are supplied with a default M12 (S-Mount) lens offering a 74° diagonal field of view (DFOV). For volume orders, Vadzo Imaging offers procurement options with or without a lens.
Does the GMSL2 SerDes Camera support Power over Coax (PoC)?
Yes. The Armor-2020CRS-GMSL2 GMSL2 SerDes Camera supports Power over Coax (PoC), allowing power, video, and control data to travel through a single coaxial cable. This reduces wiring complexity and simplifies camera integration in vehicles, robots, and industrial vision systems.
