VRS-UD350 Network interface Board (also known as: The LVDS/MIPI to IP network interface board), independently developed by Ruiloog Electronic, a provider of high-definition video secondary development solutions, is a dual-purpose interface board that integrates both LVDS and MIPI interfaces. It can convert the MIPI video signal (SONY FCB-EV9500M) or LVDS video signal (SONY FCB-EV9520L, etc.) of the camera module into network video signals, achieving high-speed and long-distance data transmission.
However, due to the output of network video signals, the VRS-UD350 network interface board has a drawback of relatively large latency. Under the challenge of high latency, why is it still the mainstream choice in many industries?
I. Why choose the VRS-UD350 network interface board despite knowing high latency?
When traditional monitoring solutions are constrained by transmission distance, high costs and complex management operations, the “high latency” of the VRS-UD350 network interface board instead becomes a controllable technical compromise. Its core value does not lie in pursuing absolute zero latency, but in achieving a balance between “high latency” and “functional irreplaceability” in complex scenarios through three major technological breakthroughs:
“Delay Compensation” for long-distance transmission
The monitoring range of port terminals often covers several square kilometers. Traditional solutions may cause picture lag or even loss due to signal attenuation. The VRS-UD350 network interface board converts the high-definition video signal of the camera module into a network video signal through MIPI/LVDS to IP encoding technology, supporting stable long-distance transmission. Combined with video compression algorithms such as H.265/H.264/MJPEG, it significantly reduces the bandwidth occupancy rate. It has effectively solved the problem of stable and long-distance transmission of high-definition video signals in the vast area of the port, ensuring the smoothness and completeness of the monitoring images, and meeting the strict requirements of smart ports for long distance and reliability.
2. Network video signal output, more optimized wiring and maintenance costs
The VRS-UD350 network interface board has been deeply optimized for the output of network video signals. It adopts efficient coding and network transmission protocols, significantly reducing bandwidth occupation and making long-distance cabling more flexible and cost-effective. In addition, by integrating remote management functions, problems can be diagnosed and repaired in real time, avoiding the high labor costs of on-site inspections. Whether it is a large-scale monitoring system or a distributed display scenario, the VRS-UD350 network interface board can achieve stable and efficient video output management at a lower cost.
3. Direct computer control, flexible and convenient
Xuanzhan Technology’s VRS-UD350 network interface board is specially designed for efficient and intelligent management, supporting direct computer control and offering flexible and convenient operation.
Through the network IE interface, users can directly control the camera module, achieving real-time data interaction and remote management without complex configuration. It can easily complete equipment parameter adjustment, status monitoring, and automated task scheduling, meeting the needs of multiple scenarios such as industrial control, intelligent transportation, and video conferencing. Its multi-functional modules and cross-platform compatibility enable users to control the device anytime and anywhere through terminals such as computers and tablets, significantly enhancing operation and maintenance efficiency. It is a flexible and reliable solution in modern intelligent control systems.
4. The software ecosystem seamlessly integrates into the existing system
Supports RTSP/ONVIF/GB28181 protocols and can be directly connected to the DVR and NVR platforms of security monitoring without the need for secondary development.
Network serial port transparent transmission function: Camera parameters (such as zoom and privacy masking) can be controlled through the Internet Explorer, and the deployment cycle can be greatly shortened.
Its compatibility with mainstream security protocols and convenient remote parameter adjustment capabilities multiply the efficiency of system integration, facilitate the rapid implementation of projects, and significantly reduce time and labor costs.
Second, irreplaceability in practical application scenarios
Despite the latency challenge, the VRS-UD350 network interface board performs well in scenarios where real-time performance is not highly demanded but where high-definition picture quality, network integration, and compatibility with specific functions are valued more.
1. Intelligent security monitoring
Security systems require high-definition picture quality for detail capture (such as face and license plate recognition), but they are usually not sensitive to latency. The VRS-UD350 network interface board, when paired with a high-definition integrated camera module, can provide rich detailed information and long-distance transmission capabilities.
2. Drone aerial photography and mapping
Drones transmit high-definition videos and images captured at high altitudes for inspection, mapping or environmental monitoring. The aircraft itself has a certain degree of stability, and slight delays do not affect overall control and data recovery. The VRS-UD350 network interface board can stably transmit high-definition images, meeting the requirements of conventional aerial photography.
3. Intelligent transportation
In intelligent transportation image capture, some processes allow for a certain amount of processing time, and not all require real-time response. The high-definition video stream provided by the VRS-UD350 network interface board is conducive to long-distance data transmission, management and line layout.
Summary
Under the technical indicator of “high latency”, the VRS-UD350 network interface board has proven through practice that in complex industrial scenarios, what users need is the video solution that best suits their own requirements. It may not be a real-time transmission solution, but it is definitely the best choice in terms of comprehensive cost, stability and ecological compatibility in scenarios such as long-distance transmission, extreme environments and intelligent early warning.
