All VC MIPI Cameras are now available with a VC Power SoC integrated into the design of the tiny modules, which enables image pre-processing directly on the MIPI module.
VC is thus continuing its successful series of VC Power SoM FPGA accelerators: until now, the VC Power SoM could be integrated directly in the MIPI data stream as a component in the design of a base board or on an adapter board. With the VC Power SoC, this functionality is now a direct component of the camera module. The tiny form factor of the cameras remains unchanged: the FPGA accelerator is simply attached to the back of the camera module. Compared to the original VC Power SoM, the SoC version has fewer logic cells, but offers sufficient performance for many applications with the smallest possible space and cost consumption. VC is also expanding its range of FPGA accelerators with the even more cost-effective VC Power SoM light.
