You don't provide enough detail for anyone to give an informed answer. How big are the images? How fast to you need to transfer? How far?

Does it have to be this board? If so, it has 3 interfaces: RS422, SFP and PCIe.

RS422 is simple but slow. You could use an RS422 to USB cable.

The PCIe is fast but you would have alot of work to do.

I've never used SFP but I suspect it is not simple either.
