The Go-To Choice for Your Embedded Vision PoC
DOING A PROJECT REQUIRING ISP SUPPORT?
You may think of
USING PLATFORM ISP
*For example, Raspberry Pi platforms’ on-chip ISP
USING IMAGE SENSOR ISP
*For example, SoC Sensor OV5640.
HOWEVER…
ISP armed sensors are too few and many platform ISP are not accessible
SO, TO START YOUR PROJECT
Expect these challenges.
High Investment Cost
Effective utilization of the ISP within SoCs requires dedicated support from solution providers, with R&D costs of tens of thousands of dollars.
High Investment Risk
ISP tuning typically occurs early in projects with uncertain prospects, leading to significant investment risks and potential sunk costs.
High Transaction Cost
Even with a commitment to ISP tuning, timely support from solution providers may be lacking due to a dispersed user base, resulting in elevated transaction costs for obtaining specialized assistance.

Cost-Effective
Users can select different solutions at various stages of proof of concept (PoC) and small production runs, resulting in a lower total cost.
Increased Flexibility
FPGA-based ISP offers greater flexibility compared to other methods and highly offload the ISP support from SoC vendors.
SOLUTIONS FOR DIFFERENT PROJECT STAGES
PoC Stage
Off-the-shelf Products
Arducam offers off-the-shelf products for initial project phases PoC.
Pilot Stage
Customization
Customization options from Arducam may be utilized during the development phase for small production runs and system level validation.
Production Stage
Cost down Assistance
When going to large scale production,Arducam can still help customers to enable the SoC’s on-chip ISP to do cost down. This benefit from Arducam’s good relationship with many SoC brands.
Partner Compatibility
The above listed SoM vendors have already been supported. If you find your SoM on the list, please get in touch with the vendor if you need any help.
Remarks
- While xISP cameras have the potential for cross-platform compatibility, achieving this will require adaptation work by the Arducam team.
- If you are using the hardware from our partners’ ecosystem, you can also contact our partners for support. Who are Arducam’s partners?
- xISP cameras currently support only 4-lane output. For platforms that do not utilize 4-lane output, custom adaptation solutions will be necessary. We welcome you to contact us for customization options.
