ALI145-X 1M Industrial Vision GMSL Camera

Product Overview

The ALI145-X is a high-reliability global-shutter camera module designed for mobile robotics applications such as AMRs and AGVs.

The camera uses a GMSL high-speed serial interface for long-distance, high-bandwidth, low-interference data transmission. Combined with a Power over Coax (PoC) solution, image data and power travel over a single coaxial cable — significantly reducing wiring complexity while improving system reliability and interference immunity. This makes it ideal for in-vehicle, industrial, and multi-camera centralized deployments.

The product supports multi-camera synchronized operation: hardware synchronization triggers and captures multiple cameras simultaneously with sub-1 ms precision. Master Mode and Slave Mode allow flexible one-master-multi-slave or daisy-chained synchronization architectures for multi-view imaging, stereo vision, surround-view systems, and more.

For platform compatibility, the camera supports a wide range of mainstream embedded compute platforms, including but not limited to Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, and Rockchip SoC platforms. An optional complete configuration file enables quick camera bring-up, parameter loading, and system integration — dramatically reducing customer development and debugging effort.

In summary, the ALI145-X is well suited to machine vision, industrial inspection, robot vision, automation equipment, multi-camera synchronized capture, intelligent perception, and edge computing applications.

Key Features

  • Global shutter imaging

    A global-exposure sensor eliminates rolling-shutter motion distortion and smearing, making it ideal for high-speed target capture, multi-camera synchronized imaging, and high-precision measurement.

  • High-Performance ISP Processing

    A dedicated ISP chip with a complete on-board image processing pipeline handles black-level correction, denoising, white balance, color correction, and gamma correction on the sensor’s raw data.

  • GMSL High-Speed Transmission

    GMSL high-speed serial interface supports long-distance, high-bandwidth, low-latency image transfer.

  • Multi-Camera Hardware Synchronization

    Supports multi-camera synchronization with accuracy better than 1 ms, to meet the needs of stereo vision, multi-camera systems and multi-perspective integration applications.
    Supports Master and Slave modes, which allows flexibility in creating a synchronous structure with multiple or multiple cascades.

  • Industrial-Grade Mechanical Design

    A unified structural housing provides excellent mechanical strength and environmental resilience for industrial sites, in-vehicle systems, and long-term continuous operation.
