Yuan AIR6N0-C-MB NX HDMI2.1 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano Compact Carrier Board with 4K60 HDMI 2.1 Capture

Sources that output HDMI 2.1, such as current graphics cards, imaging consoles and pro AV gear, need a matching input if the capture is to keep full colour detail. The AIR6N0-C-MB NX HDMI2.1 pairs YUAN’s AIR6N0-C-MB NX small carrier board with an HDMI 2.1 capture board that matches the carrier footprint.

It takes the Jetson Orin NX 16GB or 8GB Super module at 157 or 117 TOPS, or the Orin Nano 8GB or 4GB Super at 67 or 34 TOPS. The Orin NX pairs a 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores and a 6- or 8-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, and can encode one 4K60 or six 1080p60 streams in AV1 or H.265. On the Orin Nano the M.2 slots run at PCIe Gen3 and video encoding falls to the CPU cores, so the Orin NX is usually the better fit for multi-stream recording.

YUAN rates the HDMI 2.1 input on the AIR6N0-C-MB NX HDMI2.1 for 4K60 4:4:4 capture, with listed modes up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 fps, 2560 x 1440 at 144 fps and 1920 x 1080 at up to 240 fps. An HDMI loop-out keeps the source’s own display running. An 8-pin Phoenix connector and 2x 6-pin headers carry RS232, RS485, GPIO and I2C, and a microSD slot adds storage. The carrier keeps Mini DisplayPort 1.4, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C and two M.2 2230 slots. For HDMI 2.0 sources, the AIR6N0-C-MB NX HDMI2.0 uses the same carrier.

The AIR6N0-C-MB NX HDMI2.1 takes 12-36 V DC and is rated from 0 to +60 °C with airflow (storage -20 to +80 °C), with CE and FCC marks and JetPack 6.2 or later. YUAN’s QCAP SDK handles capture, recording and RTSP, SRT or WebRTC streaming, and the QDEEP SDK adds detection, segmentation, OCR and licence plate recognition models.
