Leopard Imaging Inc. announced that it is collaborating with Axonne Inc. and Amphenol Corporation. The three companies will showcase the world's first multi-gigabit automotive ethernet camera development module at DesignCon 2023 during January 31st - February 2nd at Santa Clara Convention Center, California. In the joint efforts, Axonne and Leopard Imaging work together on the first IEEE 802.3ch camera modules, and Amphenol provides the Ve-Net Multi-Gig high speed connectors and STP cable assemblies.

The demo is powered by Axonne's Cyton™ PHY and the camera modules designed and manufactured by leopard Imaging. The Amphenol Ve-NET header will be on the camera module and the Ve-NET high-speed multi-gigabit Ethernet cable assembly will connect from the camera delivering uncompressed raw data to a high performance compute platform Imaging Signal Processing (ISP) before displaying the source video onto the transmitted screen. Compared to incumbent high-speed data transmission technology, Automotive Ethernet is a flexible and secure network, allowing easy reconfigurations to ensure uninterrupted connectivity in a vehicle zonal E/E architecture for major computer systems and ADAS sensors in a vehicle.

With the world's first multi-gigabit automotive ethernet camera development module, Leopard Imaging, Axonne, and Amphenol successfully provide automotive customers with a secure and versatile high-speed in-vehicle network solution to meet the emerging needs of in-vehicle networking technology. Certified with IATF16949 automotive grade quality management system, Leopard Imaging is endeavoring to serve customers with high quality imaging solutions in the automotive industry. The multi-gigabit automotive ethernet camera development module demo will be shown at Booth 833, Santa Clara Convention Center, January 31 - February 2, 2023.
