Ambarella’s new 5 nm CV5 AI vision CVflow® processor
sets a new standard for power efficiency with 8K video recording in
under 2 watts
Ambarella, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMBA), an AI vision silicon company,
today unveiled CV5, an artificial intelligence (AI) vision
processor capable of recording 8K video or four 4K video streams.
The new system on chip (SoC) will enable the development of
intelligent automotive camera systems, consumer cameras (drone,
action, and 360°), and robotic cameras. It 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. Its
advanced image signal processor (ISP) can simultaneously process
images for both human viewing and machine processing. Fabricated in
advanced 5 nm process technology, CV5 consumes under 2 watts of
power while encoding full 8K video at 30 frames per second.

“With the introduction of CV5, Ambarella is defining the next
generation of automotive, consumer, and robotic cameras,” said
Fermi Wang, CEO of Ambarella. “By combining 8K single-channel and
4K multi-channel recording with the high performance of our CVflow
AI engine, we are enabling cameras with the highest-quality imaging
and innovative new AI features.”
In automotive video telematics applications, CV5 provides the
performance necessary to encode multiple video streams from front
ADAS, driver monitoring, cabin monitoring, and side-view cameras.
Its CVflow AI engine can simultaneously run advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS) algorithms such as lane departure, and
forward collision warning as well as driver monitoring algorithms
such as drowsy driver detection. The combination of high-resolution
video capture with advanced AI processing enables ADAS cameras to
recognize images over long distances and with high accuracy.
The exceptionally low power consumption of the CV5 SoC also
makes it an ideal solution for the next generation of high
resolution and high frame-rate action, 360°, and virtual reality
(VR) cameras, offering 8K recording and playback in very small form
factor designs.
In robotic and drone applications, CV5’s CVflow AI engine can
accelerate simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), path
planning, and obstacle detection, and avoidance algorithms for
navigation and autonomous operation. For drone-based aerial
videography and cinematography, CV5 can simultaneously perform
flight control and navigation functions while recording up to 8K
resolution video recording at 60 frames per second.
The CV5 SoC shares common SDK and computer vision (CV) tools
with Ambarella’s other CVflow SoC families, simplifying development
of cameras with multiple price and performance options. A complete
set of CV tools helps customers port their own neural networks onto
CV5, including a compiler, debugger, and support for
industry-standard machine learning frameworks, such as PyTorch™,
ONNX™, Caffe™, and TensorFlow™, as well as extensive guidelines for
convolutional neural network (CNN) performance optimization.
