The CV5 AI Vision SoC features 8K video or 4K video processing along with video encoding/decoding, and CVflow computer vision processing in a single, low-power design. The SoC can function below 2W for 8K video recording at 30 fps, and below 5W for 8K video recording at 60 fps. The CV5 combines Ambarella’s powerful CVflow AI engine with dual Arm A76 CPUs to provide the performance necessary for a wide range of AI-based algorithms used in security, automotive and consumer applications. If using customized neural networks for dedicated use cases on the CV5 SoC, Ambarella’s SDK offers a complete set of tools for software and AI implementation that includes a compiler, debugger, and support for various ML frameworks, such as PyTorch, ONNX, Caffe, and TensorFlow.
