Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at a vehicle and a camera having a CMOS imaging sensor operable to capture image data. Image data captured by the camera is conveyed from the camera to the ECU via a 50 ohm coaxial cable. The camera is in bidirectional communication with the ECU over the 50 ohm coaxial cable. The 50 ohm coaxial cable commonly carries (i) image data captured by the camera for processing at a data processor of the ECU and (ii) power from a DC power supply of the ECU to the camera. Image data captured by the camera is serialized at a data serializer of the camera and is conveyed to the ECU via the 50 ohm coaxial cable and is deserialized at the ECU by a data deserializer of the ECU.
