The world is bested with next-generation displays and camera technology that feature 4K, 8K, running on 120fps already, but all that is about to change thanks to chipmaker, Ambarella, which debuted a 5nm chip on CES 2021. The company's CV5 5nm chip promises to do better with video resolutions running on a massive 240fps with artificial intelligence technology.
A fabless semiconductor manufacturing company, Ambarella, has debuted a next-generation chip technology that is intended for camera technology including drones, action cameras, security cameras, etc. The world has fixed itself on semiconducting companies for other gadgets such as Apple and Intel's computer chips, but there is a market for camera chips too.
CES 2021 brought a massive load of new technology for the world to enjoy, all intended for wide public use and functionalities that would complement human life and help it improve. Consumer technology is one of the largest industries in the world, as it directly connects to the public's usage, needs, and demands on a massive scale.
Ambarella CV5 5nm SoC Chip Unveiled at CES 2021
Cameras are one of the most overlooked technologies of the modern age, as smartphone cams have been sufficient for everything that a person needs, from amazing HDR technology to 4K video captures. However, unique cameras have emerged, taking their rightful place for their intended functions such as drone technology or action cameras for adrenaline-pumping technology.
Much like cameras are overlooked, the technology within it are also not that paid attention to, compared smartphone chips with Apple's A14 Bionic and Qualcomm's Snapdragon series that powers Android devices. However, Ambarella's CES 2021 entry changed that with its exceptional 5nm SoC (system-on-chip) called the CV5 for cameras.
According to CNet, the new chip features an artificial intelligence vision processor that is intended for automotive cameras, for the next-generation recording features such as drones and security cameras. 8K video at 60 frames per second was unimaginable, but Ambarella's CV5 changes that, resembling the quality of 4K at 60fps four times.
Ambarella CV5 5nm SoC Chip: Next-Gen Recording Devices with AI Vision Tech
Like the Apple M1 Chip, Ambarella's CV5 5nm SoC holds every function that it can bring to a device on the small technology and internal component for next-generation camera devices. Its main function is to deliver AI to recording devices, something that is not that much of a focus on the camera industry as users control its functions.
However, autonomous devices such as alarm systems and security functions require AI to determine security threats and risks that are looming over one's home or anything protected by the technology. Ambarella's CVflow can handle encoding 8K video using less than two watts of power, for improved energy consumption for cameras.
Additionally, HDR, face tracing AI, time-lapse video, and high-ISO photography joins some of the specs it offers for camera technology.
