Product Brief

S2L IP Camera Processor			

Overview

Key Features

The Ambarella S2L IP Camera Processor is a system-on-chipsolution that integrates an advanced image sensor pipeline (ISP),
an H.264 encoder capable of up to 5Mp30 video, and a powerful
ARM® Cortex™-A9 CPU for user applications. Targeting
professional IP Camera designs, the S2L supports HDR andmotion-compensated 3D NR to handle challenging lighting
conditions, while the multi-streaming H.264 encoder with
Smart-AVC delivers superb video quality at low bitrates.

Flexible Low-Power Platform

The S2L family is supported by a flexible Linux-based IP Camera
SDK to allow development of differentiated products in areas suchas sensor and lens tuning, analytics and network connectivity.

° Multi-exposure line-interleaved HDR° ARM Cortex-A9 CPU° Linux SDK for standards-based development° 28 nm low power CMOS process
Advanced Image Processing° Up to 14 Mpixel resolution° Hardware dewarping engine° Improved MCTF with advanced sharpening
High-Efficiency Video Encoding° Up to 5M@30fps H.264 High Profile encoding° Smart-AVC streaming as low as 600Kbps for1080p30° Flexible multi-streaming

The S2L chip is suitable for professional IP Cameras with 1080p30,1080p60 and 5Mp30 class performance
