The ALC-4096-AIH is our first LCD controller with the addition of an AI accelerator and a compute module. The board also includes a selection of IO pins for sensors and other data input as well as two CIS ports for camera input. This is a developing project and an ongoing initiative for Digital View.

AI Accelerator

• Hailo 8 (26 TOPS) or 8L (13 TOPS)
• The Hailo H8 is a high-efficiency AI accelerator that enhances machine learning workloads with minimal power consumption, making it ideal for smart kiosks, industrial automation, and AI-powered signage.
• 26 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) performance for real-time AI inference. 13 TOPS version also available
• PCIe 3.0 interface ensures low-latency data transfer.
• Optimized for computer vision, object detection, and edge AI applications.
