## What is FPD-Link III / V3-Link?

FPD-Link III is a high-speed serial communication technology developed by [Texas Instruments](https://www.ti.com/) for transmitting video, audio and control signals over a single differential pair. FPD-Link III stands for Flat Panel Display Link III and is primarily used in automotive applications, particularly for connecting displays and cameras within vehicles. The use cases demand a stable and durable connection, which the FPD-Link III / V3-Link reliably provides up to 15 Meters of coaxial cable length.&#x20;

Auvidea uses this technology on several carrier and adapter boards to improve the operational range of the native MIPI-CSI-2 Interface from the Jetson platform.&#x20;
