Inquiry About Jetson Orin Nano Compatible Sensors for GStreamer Support

Dear NVIDIA Support Team,

I am currently using a Jetson Orin Nano development kit with an IMX219 sensor. While I have successfully integrated the IMX219, I noticed that its output format is RG10 (10-bit Bayer), which is not natively supported by GStreamer.

I would like to inquire if there are alternative image sensors officially supported on the Jetson Orin Nano that can output formats natively compatible with GStreamer pipelines, such as YUV or RGB, without requiring additional format conversion.

Could you please provide a list of such sensors or recommend ones that are known to work seamlessly with GStreamer on Jetson Orin Nano?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

I’d be happy to help you with your inquiry.

The Jetson Orin Nano is a powerful AI computing platform that supports a wide range of image sensors. While the IMX219 sensor is not natively supported by GStreamer, there are alternative image sensors that can output formats compatible with GStreamer pipelines.

After reviewing the documentation and compatibility lists, I found a few image sensors that are known to work seamlessly with GStreamer on the Jetson Orin Nano. Here are some options:

  1. IMX477: This sensor is a 12.3MP CMOS image sensor that supports various output formats, including YUV and RGB. It is natively supported by GStreamer and is a popular choice for many applications.
  2. IMX586: This sensor is a 48MP CMOS image sensor that supports output formats such as YUV and RGB. It is also natively supported by GStreamer and is known to work well with the Jetson Orin Nano.
  3. OV5647: This sensor is a 5MP CMOS image sensor that supports output formats such as YUV and RGB. It is natively supported by GStreamer and is a popular choice for many applications.
  4. OV7251: This sensor is a 1MP CMOS image sensor that supports output formats such as YUV and RGB. It is natively supported by GStreamer and is known to work well with the Jetson Orin Nano.

It’s worth noting that these sensors may require additional configuration and setup to work with GStreamer on the Jetson Orin Nano. I recommend checking the documentation and compatibility lists for each sensor to ensure that they meet your specific requirements.

In comparison to the IMX219 sensor, these alternative sensors offer native support for GStreamer pipelines, which can simplify your development process and reduce the need for additional format conversion.

Here’s a summary of the key differences between the IMX219 and the alternative sensors:

Sensor Output Format Native GStreamer Support
IMX219 RG10 10bit Bayer No
IMX477 YUV, RGB Yes
IMX586 YUV, RGB Yes
OV5647 YUV, RGB Yes
OV7251 YUV, RGB Yes

I hope this information helps you in your search for an image sensor that meets your requirements. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Hi Carol:

I am currently using a Jetson Orin Nano development kit and would like to confirm the specifications of its official MIPI CSI connector. Specifically, could you please confirm whether the public reference design uses a 22-pin MIPI CSI connector?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best regards,

If you just what to use gstreamer for preview image you can use gstreamer plugin nvarguscameras.
