Socionext Showcases its latest Automotive, Edge AI and Video
Distribution Technologies at Embedded World 2020
Yokohama, January 30, 2020 --- Socionext Inc. will exhibit (Hall 3A, Booth 129) at thisyear’s Embedded World, the leading international fair for embedded systems to be held in
Nuremberg, Germany from 25 – 27 February 2020. The company will also make apresentation at the event in the Electronic Displays Conference.
Highlights on the booth are a range of automotive solutions including an edge AI
demonstration, time sensitive networking (TSN) IP for the industrial sector and an AV1 cloudbased encoding solution for video distribution.

Automotive Solutions
Smart Display Controller SC1701 Series - ideal for next generation cluster and center
information display (CID) applications, this SoC offers excellent safety features including an
integrated APIX3. It also aids system integration of peripheral devices. Key safety features
can be supported independently from the video link, which can be found in two different
demos on the booth.
SEERISTM 2D Graphics IP - a configurable soft IP for creating graphic solutions forautomotive instrument clusters and driver assistance systems. It can also be used forindustrial consumer SoCs. SEERIS IP is available as part of Socionext’s ASIC services orthrough stand-alone IP licensing.
Neural Network Accelerator (NNA) Engine - an optimized unit for AI processing on edge
computing devices. This compact, low power engine has been designed specifically for deeplearning inference processing. It performs various computer vision processing functions
with deep learning, as well as conventional image recognition. This engine is based on
Socionext’s own quantization DNN technology obtained from a project commissioned by theNew Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

Automotive ASIC - Socionext’s industry-leading custom SoCs for automotive markets
enable the evolution of safe and secure automotive systems. They are used in automotivecameras, 360-degree around view systems, ADAS sensors, head-up displays, parking
assistant, and rear seat entertainment among others. Socionext is also helping customers
differentiate their products with solutions including support for ISO 26262 (FunctionalSafety).

Industrial
Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) - Socionext’s TSN IP realizes true deterministic Ethernet
and is suitable for FPGA or ASIC implementation. The IP is compliant with the nextgeneration network Ethernet TSN communication standard (IEEE 802.1 Subset) and its
evaluation environment. The IP will come with start-up manuals and driver software alongwith an evaluation board. Users can evaluate and develop industrial applications equippedwith TSN at an early stage and develop ASICs with Socionext.

Video Distribution
AV1 Cloud-Based Encoding Solution - AV1 is a new, advanced video data compression
standard established by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), of which Socionext is amember. AV1 is capable of compressing data 30% more effectively than HEVC, whilst
keeping the same image quality. This solution ensures AV1 high-quality video streaming inreal-time to significantly reduce processing time and distribution costs.
