VW Passat B8: Who knows the pinout/signalling/protocoll of the area view cameras?

I'm trying to find out what the interface of the area view cameras are for a small project of mine.

Who knows if it is USB? Ethernet-T1? Broadr-Reach?... Anything else?

The connector is a Fakra HSD with 4 pins.

I'm taking about this type of camera - P/N 5Q0980546A

The camera is part of the area view system used in 2017-current model year euro spec Passat and others (Tiguan, Arteon etc.). Extract from the (German) Shop manual here.

Thanks for any inputs to point me in the right direction.

Those cameras spit out a PAL or NTSC format (forgot which) video straight to the media center.
