Introduction 1
NEON-2000-JT2-X
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The NEON-2000-JT2-X series is an open camera platform
equipped with an NVIDIA®Jetson™ TX2 module to support a
series of image sensors that provide industrial DI/O and image
capture and inference capabilities. The NEON-2000-JT2-X is
IP67-certified and is designed for deep learning inference and
other vision applications that require a GPU at the edge in harsh
environments. Ubuntu Linux, Jetpack, camera drivers, and utilities
are pre-installed to save effort on integration and prevent compati-
bility issues. The following table lists the current NEON-2000-JT2-
X models and their respective sensor specifications.

NOTE:
NOTE:
1. Pin 4 (Digital input 0/Trigger input 0) is programmable. When
configured for trigger input, pin 4 is used for hardware trigger-
ing of the image sensor. Connect an external sensor signal to
pin 4 and set the camera to hardware trigger mode to enable
real-time or hardware-triggered image capture.
2. Pin 5 (Digital output 0/Strobe output 0) is programmable.
When configured for strobe output, pin 5 can be connected to
an LED /strobe controller to adjust the timing latency/delay
according to the camera connected to pin 5.
