Hi3516CV500

Introducing a next-generation ISP, the latest H.265 video compression encoder, and a high-performance NNIE engine. This SoC leads the industry in bit rate, image quality, processing and analysis, and power consumption. Hi3516CV500 is highly integrated for higher savings in EBOM costs. Thanks to interfaces matching HiSilicon DVR and NVR SoCs, mass production is faster and easier.
