Components of an Automotive Vision System

The Interface Adapter Module is designed for use in a system that might require hardware, drivers, and software to optimize Interface Adapter Module for your application. Use the minimum required Interface Adapter Module system components as a starting point for building your system.

Note A system and the surrounding environment must meet any requirements defined in the relevant specifications documents.
