The Imaging Source Launches Acuva Series: Rugged IP67 GMSL2 Cameras for Embedded Vision

The Imaging Source has introduced its new Acuva Series, our first GMSL2 camera line designed specifically for embedded vision applications. Built for harsh environments and demanding industrial use cases, Acuva combines 6 Gbps data speeds, Power over Coax (PoC), and IP67-rated housing with a complete ecosystem of accessories and reference designs, giving developers a faster, more reliable way to bring embedded vision projects to life.

Initial prototypes for the onsemi AR0234 and AR2020 models will be available in limited quantities for selected customers and partners at launch date with further Sony IMX900 and IMX568 models and series production planned for end of Q4 2025.

Why GMSL2 for Embedded Vision?

The demand for cost-effective embedded vision systems is rising across industries such as robotics, automation, transportation, and logistics. Traditional interfaces often limit cable length and add integration complexity. The Acuva Series solves these challenges by offering:

• High-speed, low-latency transfer up to 6 Gbps

• Cable lengths up to 15 m using coax with PoC

• Rugged IP67 housing for industrial reliability

• Simplified integration with NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms (JetPack 6.2)

• Sensor options from 2.3 MP global shutter to 20 MP rolling shutter

Powering Innovation Through Partnership

Acuva cameras have been pre-validated with leading embedded computing platforms, including:

• Neousys NRU-160-AWP and NRU-51V series industrial PCs

• Connect Tech Rudi-NX

This ensures seamless compatibility from sensor to system, so developers can focus on building applications, not troubleshooting hardware.

One Partner. One Solution. Complete Confidence.

"We developed this new GMSL2 camera series to strengthen our embedded approach, position ourselves early in a growing market, and respond to increasing customer demand for robust and cost-efficient solutions," said Momchil Binev, Senior Product Manager at The Imaging Source.

To support developers, The Imaging Source is building out a complete GMSL2 ecosystem that includes reference designs for NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano, rugged coaxial cabling, industrial-grade M12 lenses, and multi-channel deserializer boards. These resources are designed to help engineers reduce integration risks, shorten development cycles, and scale applications more quickly.
