IVPort Raspberry Pi Camera Module Multiplexer
This version is not compatible with 8 MP Camera Module V2.
IVPORT V2 (Camera Module V2 8MP Sensor Compatible Version) is available at below link;

Revision 3 board has differential pair signals' better routing therefore image quality improvement.
IVPORT and IVPORT V2 which are the first Raspberry Pi (also Raspberry Pi A,A+,B+ and Raspberry Pi 2,3 fully compatible) Camera Module multiplexer is designed to make possible connecting more than one camera module to single CSI camera port on Raspberry Pi. Multiplexing can be controlled by 3 pins for 4 camera modules, 5 pins for 8 camera modules and 9 pins for maximum up to 16 camera modules with using GPIO.
IVPort has already been preferred by NASA, Sony, Nikon, Amazon, ESA, MIT Lab, Spacetrex Lab, well known company research centers and numerous different universities.

Multiplex the number of usable camera module on Raspberry Pi from1 to 4 with using one Ivport. It can multiplex from 1 to 16 withusing 4 Ivport with stack.
Multiplexing can be controlled by 3pins for 4 camera modules, 5 pins for 8 camera modules and 9 pins for16 camera modules with using GPIO and external script library thatwritten by Python.
Connectors: 15 Pin FFC CSI
Pinout: RaspberryPi CSI Connector Camera Pinouts
Protocol: MIPI
Propagation Delay between input and output: 0.5 ns
Switching Time fromone channel to other channel: 50ns (it can increase with depending to GPIO delay)
