Extension Solution for Multi-Camera Kit
Notice
This solution is only supported to extend the connection between the Arducam CamArray HAT and Raspberry Pi:
{SKU: U6248 LAN cable}
|
|
It transmits MIPI signal through LAN cable, which can be transmitted farther than through FFC cable, about 10M.
In this form, we have tried 3 meter of LAN cable before, and it works normally. The HDMI cable should be longer.
