Camera Bridge

Block Diagram of Camera Bridge. Due to the legacy of host processor interfaces, mobile handset designers are in need of combining those with new state-of-the-art camera interfaces.
Toshiba offers a bridge to interface a MIPI® CSI-2 compliant camera to an MDDI® camera input of the host.

Camera resolutions are becoming higher. The camera bridge enables high-speed transfer of camera image data.
