Di1 — Edge AI Camera SoC

From cameras that just watch
to cameras that decide.

Inference runs on the device — nothing goes to the cloud. Di1 puts high-accuracy edge AI inside your product, and we stay with you from design through volume production.

WHY DI1

Built for the constraints edge products actually face.

Power. Cost. Size. Security cameras and drones live inside hard limits — and still have to deliver real AI performance on the spot.
That is exactly what Di1, our edge AI camera SoC, was designed for.

Explore the Di1 SoC

  • 01 / EDGE AI

    Inference that stays on the device

    AI runs on the device; video never leaves it.
    Low latency and low bandwidth keep the decisions coming, even where the network doesn’t.

    on-device · low latency

  • 02 / POWER

    Low power by design

    A power budget built for fanless, compact enclosures.
    Stable outdoors, embedded, or airborne on a drone.

    fanless ready

  • 03 / COST

    Lower BoM cost

    System cost optimized against competing modules — a BoM that holds up at production pricing.

  • 04 / SOFTWARE

    AI that runs out of the box

    Sample software for object detection, face recognition and ANPR, plus ONVIF middleware: the shortest path from evaluation to production code.

Target Applications

Three markets, clearly in focus.

Di1 targets the three markets where real-time AI video processing at the edge changes the economics.

  • 01 / SECURITY

    Security cameras

    Object detection, face recognition and ANPR run on the camera itself. ONVIF drops it straight into the VMS and recording infrastructure you already have.

  • 02 / DRONE

    Drones

    Low power and small enough to fly. Di1 keeps seeing and deciding in real time, even when the link goes down.

    low power · on-board

  • 03 / AUTOMOTIVE

    Automotive cameras (aftermarket)

    An extended commercial temperature grade (−20 °C to +85 °C), optimized for retrofit automotive cameras.
    Built to win in a cost-sensitive aftermarket.

    Use case

    We propose the design and development of an AI board powered by DMP's "Di1" AI processor, leveraging EBRAIN high-speed PCB design and system implementation technologies. In addition to circuit design that maximizes AI processing performance, we will comprehensively address high-speed interfaces, power supply, thermal management, and EMC countermeasures. We aim to realize a highly reliable hardware infrastructure that supports the practical application of edge AI in industrial equipment and manufacturing devices, such as image recognition, visual inspection, and real-time anomaly detection.

    Use case

    Design, mass production, and supply of Di1-equipped edge AI cameras, with end-to-end support from evaluation boards to mass production. Di1-equipped edge AI cameras address challenges associated with conventional systems that send camera footage to the cloud for analysis, including communication latency, network costs, privacy concerns, and the need for real-time decision-making at the site. A Di1-equipped edge AI camera performs AI-based image recognition and inference directly on the camera. Instead of transmitting raw video footage to the cloud, the camera analyzes the footage locally and sends only the necessary information—such as detected abnormalities or the status of a target object—to higher-level systems. This enables rapid anomaly detection with reduced communication latency, supporting early responses to equipment failures and quality issues. At the same time, reducing the amount of data transmitted to the cloud can help lower network traffic and operating costs. Processing video locally rather than sending it externally can also reduce the security and privacy burden associated with handling on-site footage. In short, Di1-equipped edge AI cameras transform cameras from devices that simply capture images into intelligent devices that can make decisions at the site and transmit only the information that is needed. By improving real-time responsiveness, communication efficiency, and security simultaneously, they can help address a wide range of challenges in smart factories, retail stores, infrastructure monitoring, and other real-world environments.
