Synaptics Incorporated announced a new Smart Edge AI platform, the VideoSmart VS600 family of high-performance multimedia System on a Chip (SoC) solutions that combines a CPU, NPU, and GPU into a single software-enriched SoC. The VS600 family is designed specifically with human perceptive intelligence for a new generation of smart displays, smart cameras, video soundbars, set-top-boxes, voice-enabled devices and emerging computer vision IoT products. The VideoSmart VS600 family leverages SyNAP (Synaptics Neural Network Acceleration and Processing) technology that was initially launched on the AudioSmart AS371 SoC. SyNAP is a full-stack solution and framework that enables efficient 'on device' execution of deep-learning models for advanced features such as user identification and behavioral prediction through video, vision and voice which allows smart devices to perform ambient computing for intuitive interaction with users. With all inferencing performed on the device, this ensures a much higher level of privacy, security, and real-time interaction for end-users. To enable edge computing AI applications, the VS600 SoCs integrate a high-performance neural network processing unit (NPU) that supports trillions of operations per second. An integrated MIPI-CSI camera serial interface along with an advanced Image Signal Processing engine provides the camera input for edge-based computer vision inferencing, minimizing the need for external components. Synaptics’ far-field voice and customizable wake word technology provides edge-based voice processing. The VS600 family integrates a high-performance quad-CPU subsystem, Synaptics’ sixth generation GPU, and its SyKURE security framework with support for all major Conditional Access Systems (CAS).
