TARGETING THE PROFESSIonAL SURVEILLANCE INDUSTRY, the S5 SoC enables the development of high-quality 4K and multi-imager IP camera designs, offering a maximum performance of 4Kp60 HEVC/H.265 and 4Kp60 AVC/H.264, while supporting a range of premium functions including flexible multi-streaming, rate control, and transcoding. The S5’s advanced 1-Gigapixel/s Image Sensor Pipeline (ISP) enables features such as 4K multi-exposure High Dynamic Range (HDR) fusion, 360° de-warp, and ultra-low light processing.
The S5 chip supports next-generation Main10 HEVC Profile (10-bit H.265) encoding for outstanding representation of high-contrast scenes and a wide color gamut. In addition, the S5 leverages Ambarella’s SmartHEVC™ technology to radically reduce 4Kp30 video bitrates to between 512 Kbps and 4 Mbps, minimizing network bandwidth requirements and saving on storage costs.
The S5 includes a 1.2 GHz quad-core ARM® Cortex®-A53 64-bit CPU with floating point and NEON™ for user applications. A Linux-based Software Development Kit (SDK) allows customers to develop highly differentiated products including 4Kp60 traffic cameras, 2x4K multi-imagers, and surround view cameras, with support for in-demand features such as intelligent video analytics, in-camera edge storage, and transcoding.
