How are you handling long-distance Raspberry Pi native MIPI DSI?

I’m working on a system using MIPI DSI for display and trying to understand how to handle longer-distance transmission. Native DSI seems very limited in range, so I’m curious what approaches people are using in real-world systems. Are you converting to SerDes, using fiber, or doing something custom? Or is long-distance DSI still not commonly implemented?

Welcome to AAC!

Define "long distance".

Look at GMSL, FPD-Link III, MIPI A-PHY, USB 3, Ethernet, or CoaXPress.

There are probably several others that might work, too.
