Ambarella, Inc. introduced its AEC-Q100 qualified A9AQ family of automotive camera System-on-Chips (SoCs). The Ambarella A9AQ is a 4K Ultra HD single-chip solution for single or multi-camera electronic mirror, surround view, and video recording systems. A9AQ features an 800MHz dual-core ARM® Cortex®-A9 CPU to provide powerful processing performance for varied customer applications including advanced driver assistance features, user interface, and wireless networking. Ambarella also introduced its B6 family of 4K Ultra HD capable serializer/deserializer (SERDES) companion chips to enable high performance video camera applications based on the A9AQ SoC. The Ambarella A9AQ provides a single-chip solution for three camera side-view and rear-view electronic mirror systems. Its multi-exposure HDR processing provides superior visibility even in low light or high contrast scenes. LED flicker mitigation dramatically reduces artifacts introduced by LED headlights and traffic signs. The A9AQ can simultaneously drive video to up to three in-car displays for rear, left side and right side electronic mirror applications.
Ambarella, Inc. is a developer of low-power system-on-a-chip (SoC) semiconductors that provide artificial intelligence processing, image signal processing and video compression. The Company serves human-viewing applications with video and image processors for enterprise, public infrastructure and home applications, such as Internet protocol, security cameras, sports cameras, wearables, aerial drones, and aftermarket automotive video recorders. It is focused on creating AI technology that enables edge devices to visually perceive the environment and make decisions based on the data collected from cameras and, other types of sensors. Its CVflow-architecture supports a range of computer vision algorithms, including object detection, classification and tracking, semantic and instance segmentation, image processing, stereo object detection, terrain mapping, and face recognition. Its CVflow processes other sensor modalities, including lidar, radar, time of flight, thermal and near-infrared.
