Task: create a prototype adapter that will allow the use of tool brand A on video processor brand B.
There are two brands of endoscopes (camera on a flexible tube), let's call them brand A and brand B. Each system consists of a video processing unit (video processor) and a working tool that has a CMOS sensor installed. The analog signal from the CMOS goes through wires via its own connector (each brand has its own) into the video processor, then the video is transmitted to the monitor via HDMI.
Hypothesis 1. Both endoscopes use the same CMOS. We know for sure that model A uses the OV6946 sensor (https://www.ovt.com/products/ov6946/). Visually, sensor B looks similar to sensor A.
Hypothesis 2. It is possible that video processor B has a different polling or synchronization protocol.
Hypothesis 3. Initial experiments with simple "color-coded" wire connections did not yield results. Therefore, it may be necessary to develop a matching board.
What we provide: working tools A and B (2 pieces each, can be disassembled). Video processor B (can be carefully opened). Connectors A and B. Video processor A - under question.
Requirements: experience with CMOS, signal analysis using an oscilloscope, development of signal processing circuits, assembly under a microscope (the conductors are very thin, have a shield and a central core). The image quality should not noticeably suffer! The prototype must be reliably assembled and suitable for transportation.
Result: working prototype on a breadboard, documentation (circuit, description).
Deadline from the moment of receiving materials: 2-3 weeks
Propose a cost.
