From PoC to Mass Production

Users can conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) using this complete box and then, based on this environment,  
will move on to the actual design for a mass-production.
THine will provide reference circuits and codes for mass-production design.
If an user wishes to change the number of cameras or resolution, THine also can provide a GUI tool to generate the appropriate register settings.
A QR code is included in the “THEVA24-RJ45-BOX-V2”, and an user can download those data after a user registration.

We have chosen RJ-45 connectors since it is widely used in the industrial equipment field.
Ethernet cables adapting RJ45 are available in various lengths, making it easy for users to choose the length according to the distance they wish to test.
