Overview
The TechNexion VLS-GM2 and UVLS-GM2 series are GMSL2 camera modules designed specifically for the official NVIDIA Jetson Orin developer kit. Where most GMSL cameras assume a partner industrial PC with deserialisers, these are matched to the developer kit's camera interface, so a team can move from a single-camera prototype to a multi-camera rig without sourcing a custom carrier board first.
The range is organised around onsemi sensors rather than around a single fixed camera. Six sensor families — AR0234, AR0235, AR0246, AR0521, AR0821 and AR0822 — cover 2 MP through 8 MP, with global shutter on the AR0234 and AR0235 for fast motion and rolling shutter on the AR0246, AR0521, AR0821 and AR0822 for higher resolution at lower cost. Monochrome versions of the AR0235 and AR0822 suit low-light imaging and dimensional measurement where colour adds nothing.
Mechanically each sensor is offered in two forms: board-level UVLS modules with S-mount lenses for tight integration into custom housings, and closed-housing VLS modules with C-mount lenses for standard industrial optics. GMSL2 over coax keeps cable runs thin and long relative to USB, which is what allows a Jetson Orin carrier to host several cameras distributed around a robot or inspection cell.
Key Benefits
Matched to the official Jetson Orin developer kit — no custom deserialiser board required to get started. Six onsemi sensor families from 2 MP to 8 MP so resolution and shutter can be chosen per camera position. Global or rolling shutter depending on whether motion or resolution dominates. Monochrome options on AR0235 and AR0822 for measurement and low-light work. Board-level or housed with S-mount or C-mount optics. GMSL2 coax cabling for distributed multi-camera rigs on a single Jetson Orin host.
Applications
Multi-camera perception on NVIDIA Jetson Orin developer kits. Robotics and AMR prototyping where several cameras must be evaluated quickly. Industrial inspection cells using onsemi global shutter sensors. Stereo and surround rigs built from matched camera pairs. Low-light monochrome imaging for machine vision measurement. Embedded vision product development where a board-level module must fit a custom housing.
