Yuan AIR6N0-C-MB NX 12G-SDI NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano Compact Carrier Board with 12G-SDI Capture and Loop-Out

Adding detection or recording to an SDI chain usually means breaking into it, unless the capture point passes the signal straight through. The AIR6N0-C-MB NX 12G-SDI pairs YUAN’s AIR6N0-C-MB NX mini carrier board with a 12G-SDI capture board that has its own loop-out and 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.

The capture board on the AIR6N0-C-MB NX 12G-SDI has one 12G-SDI input at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 fps, and also accepts 6G-SDI at 4K30, 3G-SDI at 1080p60, HD-SDI and SD-SDI. The loop-out passes the feed on to the next device. 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 for streaming, USB-C and two M.2 2230 slots. For four SDI sources or quad-link input, the AIR6N0-C-MB NX 12G-SDI QL uses the same carrier.

The AIR6N0-C-MB NX 12G-SDI 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 license plate recognition models.
