Since firmware version v2.04e NT camera modules are supported.
The NT camera module allows to remote control a camera. It thus serves a similar purpose like the various RC camera remote control modules, such as e.g. CAMremote and many others. Instead of a servo RC signal however it listens to the info on the NT bus. It is thus usually connected to the NT bus near the camera NT IMU module, which allows for extremely slim wiring schemes (see also here).
Currently, dedicated NT camera hardware have not yet been designed (even though it would be simple), but the NT camera function is integrated into the NT IMU firmware. This means that those NT IMU modules which expose extra pins simultaneously can be used as NT camera modules. Specifically, these are the "big" NT IMU module and the CC3D Atom based modules.
The details will likely change in future, to accommodate new needs. In v2.04e two signals are provided on two different pins, namely a standard servo RC signal (with ca. 60Hz frequency) and a 50 ms pulse.
