New 14nm SoC delivers 4Kp60 Ultra HD video, 4K Image
Stabilization, and 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing with very
low power
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMBA), a leading developer of low-power,
HD and Ultra HD video processing semiconductors, today introduced
the H22 System-On-Chip (SoC) targeting a new generation of 4K
drones and sports cameras with leading-edge video features.
The new H22 SoC is capable of encoding 4K Ultra HD video at 60
frames per second using the H.265 (HEVC) or H.264 (AVC) video
formats, and supports advanced Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
up to 4K resolution. The on-board 1.2 GHz Quad-Core ARM®
Cortex®-A53 CPU provides significant processing power for customer
applications including flying camera flight control, advanced
analytics, video stitching and wireless networking. Fabricated in
14nm process technology, the H22 offers very low power consumption,
enabling 4K cameras with small form factors and extended battery
life.
“The H22 brings 4Kp60 Ultra HD video at extremely low power into
the mainstream,” said Chris Day, VP of marketing and business
development at Ambarella. “With 4K HDR, 4K EIS, and a quad-core
CPU, the H22 enables a new generation of drones and sports cameras
with outstanding video quality and extended battery life.”
The H22 includes a highly optimized image processing pipeline
with excellent imaging and advanced noise reduction, and a hardware
de-warp engine to support wide-angle panoramic designs with minimal
distortion. The device’s 4K EIS can augment or potentially
eliminate the need for a mechanical gimbal in a drone. The ability
to encode at high frame rates, including 4Kp60 and 1080p120,
delivers smooth slow motion, high definition video even during fast
action shots.
A typical use case for the H22 in a drone might be to
simultaneously encode 4K Ultra HD video, stabilize it in real time
using EIS, and execute flight control algorithms using input from
an array of sensors including an optical flow sensor. Additionally,
a second, low-delay, Full-HD live video stream may be processed,
encoded and wirelessly transmitted to the pilot for monitoring and
camera control.
Ambarella will demonstrate the new H22 device at a private,
invitation only event held during the Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) in Las Vegas, January 5 – 8, 2017.
