### Modular Development Ecosystem

The new MIPI cameras are compatible with the VC MIPI ecosystem, which includes over 50 supported sensors and a standard development infrastructure. Source code drivers provide support. The VC MIPI Bricks system offers micro-coaxial and GMSL2 cable options (up to 10 m transmission), FPGA-based accelerators, and custom camera configurations.

### Edge AI and Embedded Vision Solutions

The VC EvoCam's integrated AI processing capabilities and high-resolution MIPI modules enhance the concept of distributed intelligence in embedded vision systems. This enables rapid decision-making in many applications, from industrial automation to robotics and smart surveillance.

The launch at the Embedded Vision Summit highlights the widespread adoption of edge AI applications through the standardization of modular hardware and software stacks.
