Hello,

Need to purchase VOXL2-mini at volume for one of our new products, but just realized it have no HDMI capability, any suggestions? 

We are running the camera at 4K: Sony FCB-ER8530/J 20x 4K

Our company is willing to pay extra for modified VOXL board to take HDMI or adapter.

Thanks,

@FIREBIRD We've used capture cards similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097D5CJ4T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

which can be used in combo with: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-uvc-server

Can't say that it will work for sure with that specific camera but we have had success with other sony cameras in the past

The camera is 4k output via HDMI
So I'm thinking this would work?

@FIREBIRD It's hard to say without giving it a try. voxl-uvc-server will be able to detect the supported resolutions and framerates once you have it all connected

@tom This is the board they are trying to sell me for the camera: https://intertest.com/products/twiga-tv20-0008-4k-usb3-interface-board

Can't I just use the VOXL 2 mini USB3 input?

The Twiga TV20 0008 4K USB3 Interface Board provides an uncompressed, UVC-compliant video stream. A single USB3 cable will power, control, and stream 4K video on most devices with a USB3 port (single board computers, Nvidia platforms, or any PC using Windows or Linux OS).

@FIREBIRD Looks like it is a UVC camera so will likely work. May just take a bit of tweaking to voxl-uvc-server to get it to enumerate properly

@tom I noticed the camera has a Mini-HDMI output for camera feed as well. Can I convert this to USB-C and use J9 on the VOXL 2 mini?

## Reply by tom (ModalAI staff) · 2024-12-10 20:53:03 UTC (in reply to FIREBIRD)

@FIREBIRD No, J9 can't be used as USB input

## Reply by FIREBIRD · 2024-12-13 19:40:04 UTC (in reply to tom)

@tom Here's my issue. I have two USB only devices, but the VOXL has only one USB port.

@FIREBIRD Do you have the option of using VOXL2 with ad add-on board that exposes more USB ports?

## Reply by FIREBIRD · 2024-12-13 20:32:55 UTC (in reply to tom)

@tom Do you have a datasheet and pricing for that?
