Strong and effective performance for Internet of Things applications
RSB-3810
The RSB-3810 is based on MediaTek’s Genio 1200 chipset, which has a powerful octa-core CPU architecture. It has four high-end Arm Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 processors combined into a cutting-edge 6nm-class device. The end result is remarkable power efficiency; the RSB-3810 can easily handle workloads requiring a lot of computation while only using 8 watts.
The Genio 1200 chipset has a dedicated dual-core AI processing unit (APU) to facilitate seamless on-device AI processing for deep learning, Neural Network (NN) acceleration, and machine vision applications. With an astounding 4.8 TOPS of performance, this specialist unit improves the RSB-3810’s capability in AI-driven tasks. This clever architecture strikes the ideal balance between system performance and power consumption by efficiently offloading workloads from the host CPU.
Seamless image processing and transmission with extremely minimal delay
Using three MIPI-CSI and USB 3.0 ports, the RSB-3810 allows camera input and has an integrated starlight-grade ISP. This makes it possible for intelligent vision-based devices to function well even in extremely low light. The RSB-3810 offers H265 4K60 video capture and 4K90 image processing thanks to the Mali-G57 chipset, which enables a variety of AI applications. It also makes multi-display setups easier with one 4Kp60 HDMI and one dual channel LVDS.
Regarding connectivity, the RSB-3810 offers 1 x M.2 3052 Key B and 1 x M.2 2230 Key E Slot, which are the required I/O interfaces for sophisticated network and peripheral connections. This makes it possible to integrate MediaTek’s 5G and Wi-Fi 6/BT networking modules with ease. Furthermore, as a suitable protocol for effective data transmission in monitoring systems and equipment, GbE TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) is supported. The RSB-3810 is the perfect choice for edge computing applications in camera systems and industrial IoT because of these qualities.
