The picture quality is good but a little washed out but after some adjusting in post it's pretty good. Review: A very useful adapter - This adapter board is very useful for the purpose it was made for. It adapts CSI sensor modules to USB 2. But my problems with it mainly come from some characteristics that feel like an oversight. You can do 720p @ 100 fps, but that's all for 720p. You can't run it at lower frame rate, let's say 720p @ 30 fps. Running high frame rate is not always good because it gives the sensor less time per frame to capture the light, and as a result, the higher the frame rate is, the darker the image gets. There are some settings to change the exposure time, but they are best left at auto, because manual adjustment still isn't perfect, and ends up with choppy frame rate. Many applications default to 720p when using a webcam, and always end up with dark image as a result. This might be possible to fix with a firmware update, should Arducam supply one. Other than, it would be nice to see a USB 3 version of this product that does YUV uncompressed video. UPDATE: there is a newer version of the camera firmware available on Arducam forums that fixes this fps issue. After the update, I change my review to 5 stars. ## Features - Make IMX477 UVC-Compliant: This CSI to USB adapter board can extend your 12.3MP IMX477 High Quality Camera work as a webcam, just connect this adapter with camera board to PC computer, laptop, Android device, Raspberry Pi or Jetsons via USB port without extra drivers to be installed. - With Audio: This adapter makes your IMX477 camera board no longer be silent because of the built-in single microphone, so as to capture video with audio. - Ultra HD and High Frame Rates: It has no effect on the image quality and frame rates at all; max. still resolution 4056(H) x 3040(V); MJPG 10fps@4056x3040, 20fps@4K(3840x2160), 30fps@2592x1944/2560x1440, 60fps@1080P, 100fps@720P. - Easy to Assemble: Board dimension is 38mmx38mm, same sized with IMX477 HQ camera board, and compatible location and pitch of mounting hole, just connect and assemble the adapter board with the camera board, with the included camera cable and accessories. - Application: This adapter can work with 12.3MP Raspberry Pi Official High Quality Camera, highly recommended for a home video surveillance system, monitoring 3D Printer, and other vision applications demand IMX477 camera. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Arducam | | Package Dimensions | 9.19 x 7.9 x 3.81 cm; 59 g | | Item model number | B0278 | | Manufacturer | Arducam | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Item Weight | 59 g | ## Images ![CSI-UVC USB Camera Adapter Board for 12MP IMX477 Raspberry Pi HQ Camera - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SQaBALNUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i get raw (bayer) image output i.o. mjpeg? for example something like: fswebcam --device raw:/dev/video0 -p bayer (doesn't work) )** A: Hi, this adapter board does not support RAW format output. **Q: Hi, should this board work with arducam imx477 compact size board camera (b0251)?** A: Yes, but the mounting hole isn't compatible with the imx477 compact size board. **Q: Will this work with the jetson nano arducam imx477 camera?** A: Arducam IMX477 cameras for Jetson are deprecated because of different white balance calibrations.
