Introduction 1
NEON-2000-JNX
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The NEON-2000-JNX series is an open camera platform equipped
with an NVIDIA® Jetson™ Xavier NX module supporting a series of
image sensors providing industrial DI/O capabilities. It is designed
for deep learning inference or other vision applications that
requires a GPU at the edge. The system has Ubuntu Linux, Jet-
pack, camera driver and utilities pre-installed to save integration
effort and avoid compatibility issues. The following table describes
the current NEON-2000-JNX models with their respective sensor
specifications.

NOTE:
NOTE:
1. When powering from the DC Jack, the Type-C connector can
provide 3W of power to an external device such as a Type-C
hub. Devices requiring more than 3W cannot be used.
2. DC power can be from the Type-C connector or DC jack.
3. Use only recommended ADLINK power adapters.
4. The camera boots from the preinstalled microSD
card that cannot be removed. To change the
microSD card, constant ADLINK.
