Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSLTM) technology provides reliable high-speed video transport between cameras, computers, and displays over a single bi-directional cable.
This unique solution from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) was originally designed for the automotive market and can be found in vehicles from more than 25 auto manufacturers. Today, GMSL has evolved to offer advantages across any application that leverages high-resolution video to improve performance—for example, functional safety, agriculture, industrial automation, shipping, aerospace, and even healthcare.
GMSL is now more broadly available than ever. That’s why we’ve created GMSL University to help engineers better understand how this technology works, whether it’s the right fit for their application, and finally, how they can implement it in their camera- or display-based design.
What Is GMSL University?
Our robust, free online training catalog follows a university course structure to help professionals learn, master, and apply GMSL technology. We leverage an ecosystem of knowledge and resources to facilitate a cohesive, in-depth learning experience that guides participants from foundation to mastery.
We’ve designed GMSL U to be a resource that keeps on giving. At launch, the program features dozens of courses, each taking about six to 10 minutes to complete. The catalog will be updated often, so start laying your foundation today!
How Does it Work?
Learning begins with the “Fundamentals” series. This provides a basic overview of GMSL technology and offers a certificate of completion. Courses include high-level tutorials as well as helpful animations exploring what’s beneath the surface of this apparently simple technology.
Participants may choose to dive deeper into relevant “Fundamentals” topics and learn to apply their new knowledge through more advanced “Implementation” courses. These courses focus on specific use cases or parts, demonstrating their application in real-world scenarios.
GMSL U provides three learning tracks. The foundational “GMSL Core” track offers a fundamental understanding of the technology upon which the other tracks are built. The specialized learning tracks, “GMSL Display” and “GMSL Sensor,” provide a target list of courses based on the user’s application.
Why Should I Attend GMSL U?
GMSL U is a one-stop shop to satisfy all your GMSL questions and curiosities. It has been designed to offer intuitive learning progression and user navigation. The participant’s dashboard acts as a knowledge hub with each topic pointing to additional relevant materials such as webinars, prerequisite courses, FAQs, parts pages, user guides, and more to enrich the learning experience.
A GMSL U certificate of completion demonstrates your understanding and readiness to start innovating with GMSL technology. From there, you can dive into designing your next product with GMSL or reach out to ADI for collaborations and further support.
The growing availability of GMSL technology represents an exciting opportunity to learn, master, and apply this technology across new markets. Think you have what it takes to become a GMSL trailblazer in your industry? Then GMSL U is the place to start!
