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 module on PCIe M.2 connector, max power 13W
• Hailo modules: 10H (40 TOPS), 8 (26 TOPS), 8L (13 TOPS)
• The Hailo processors support high performance processing of generative AI models including LLMs with minimal CPU / GPU load.
• Optimized for computer vision, object detection, and edge AI applications. See the compute section.
