VC MIPI® Blueline & VC MIPI® Camera Modules
Two twins. Two types.
VC MIPI® Blueline is a new series of mainline Camera Modules within the VC MIPI® family. It comprises a selection of color streaming sensors and is optionally available as fixed bundles with cables and lenses. VC MIPI® Blueline Cameras are supported by mainline Linux drivers. Sales are handled online through distributors such as NOTAVIS, a subsidiary of VC.
VC MIPI® Camera Modules are available with 50+ image sensors, in monochrome and color variants as well as multispectral, SWIR, and NIR sensors. The portfolio includes cameras with global shutter, rolling shutter, and global reset shutter. Polarization filters and other special solutions are available on request.
For VC MIPI® Cameras, VC offers comprehensive, customer-specific support, ranging from driver adjustments to extensive services for custom adaptation and integration, lenses, and calibration.

How Mainline Cameras Simplify Software Maintenance
All VC MIPI® Blueline Camera Modules are supported by drivers that are part of the Linux kernel, already available in the mainline sources, or can be quickly and easily installed as kernel patches.
The drivers are automatically ported for future kernel versions and maintained by the Linux community. For companies using VC MIPI® Blueline Camera Modules, this eliminates the effort of driver adaptation when updating their BSPs.
This simplifies software lifecycle management, saving time and costs.
