Key Features:

  • Ambarella CV75 AI SoC with dual Arm Cortex A76 cores and CVflow AI engine
  • Integrated ISP and video pipeline with 4K processing, multi-stream encoding, HDR, stabilization, and dewarping
  • Optimized support for Sony STARVIS and STARVIS 2 sensors, including IMX664 and IMX678
  • Connectivity options such as USB 3.2, Ethernet or PoE, Wi-Fi, BLE, SDIO, CAN FD, and expansion interfaces
  • Full integration with EVPaaS for application development, cloud management, and model deployment

Evaluation Kits and Development Path

From Evaluation to Production

The CV75 SoM is available as an evaluation kit that functions as both a demo system and a complete development environment.

 

Two typical engagement paths:

 

1. Out of the box demo

  • Pre-loaded applications for image quality evaluation, streaming tests, and on-board AI analytics
  • Quick validation of CV75 performance with Sony sensors in real world scenes

2. SDK and EVPaaS development

  • Access to the EVPaaS portal, SDK, and development tools
  • Ability for engineering teams to build camera-level applications and integrate custom CNN or transformer-based models
  • Engineering support packages available from iENSO and Macnica Tech to accelerate proofs of concept and integration work

Macnica Tech and iENSO guide customers through a structured EVT to DVT to PVT and mass production path, covering supply chain planning, firmware QA, and cloud enablement.

 

 

 

Built on Ambarella, Powered by Sony

At the center of the CV75 SoM is the Ambarella CV75 AI SoC, designed for low-power, high-performance computer vision with an integrated ISP, encoder, and dedicated CVflow AI engine.

Sony IMX664 image sensor

The platform is tuned for Sony STARVIS and STARVIS 2 sensors, such as:

  • Sony IMX664, 4 MP
  • Sony IMX678, 8 MP

 

This combination delivers:

  • Excellent low-light performance for security, access control, and outdoor scenes
  • Wide dynamic range for mixed lighting
  • Strong support for modern AI workflows that rely on CNNs and transformer-based reasoning

Optional expansions include Wi-Fi modules from Infineon, memory from Micron, and thermal cores for multi-sensor fusion.

 

 

Applications We Enable

The CV75 platform and EVPaaS ecosystem are ideal when you need embedded vision with strong on-device intelligence, tight power budgets, and a path to large scale deployment.
