Questions? Contact RidgeRun or email to support@ridgerun.com.
A collection of demonstration scenarios is provided to showcase the capabilities of the PVA ISP on NVIDIA Jetson platforms. Each scenario is designed to be reproducible using readily available hardware while illustrating common image processing challenges in embedded vision applications.
Demo Hardware Platform
All demonstrations use the following hardware configuration.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Processing Platform | NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin |
| Camera Sensor | Sony IMX274 |
| Camera Interface | MIPI CSI-2 |
| ISP | RidgeRun PVA ISP |
| Output Format | NV12 |
Additional mounting accessories may be used depending on the demonstration scenario.
