‌2.1 T23 Series: High-Cost-Performance Entry-Level [Core Tags: 3M H.264, Basic AI】

Core positioning is for low-cost intelligent vision applications, with "ultimate cost-performance" as its core advantage. It has high competitiveness in the H.264 product segment. Although it lacks an independent NPU, it can support basic algorithms like human detection and motion detection by leveraging the high-performance CPU. It is the optimal solution for basic vision scenarios with no complex AI requirements and high cost sensitivity.

Hardware configuration is basic-level. It can support dual-camera 3M products via MIPI-Switch expansion. It supports semi-direct pass-through memory-saving technology, resulting in low media memory usage. It integrates basic vision processing functions, meeting the development needs of entry-level security cameras and home camera devices.

Hardware supports LZMA hardware decompression, offering better power consumption control and startup speed compared to the previous generation T31. The RISC-V co-processor accelerates AE+AWB convergence, adapting to low-power product scenarios.

‌2.2 T33 Series: Inclusive Upgrade [Core Tags: 5M H.265, Multi-Camera, 0.5T AI Computing Power, Ultra-Low Power]‌

Core positioning is as an entry-level H.265+AI SoC. It is a comprehensive upgrade of the T23 and a more accessible version of the T32Pro. It integrates an H.265 high-efficiency encoder and a 0.5T independent NPU, with "low power consumption + high image quality + inclusive AI" as its core advantages, breaking down the application barriers of high-end AI vision technology.

Hardware natively supports 2x2 Lane multi-camera setups and 5M sensor input. Vision processing is significantly upgraded, featuring the professional-grade Tiziano-v4.1 ISP, which optimizes image quality in RAW domain noise reduction, purple fringe correction, and false color removal, offering better noise control in low-light scenes. The Hera-v1.6 encoder achieves stable encoding at 6MP@25fps, with full-mode coverage for bitrate control, balancing image quality and bandwidth cost.

Power consumption is greatly optimized. In Atlas (AOV) mode, single-camera 2M@1FPS power consumption is as low as 26mW (including Sensor). In 4MP+D1@15fps H.265 operation scenarios, power consumption is reduced by 25% compared to T32. It perfectly adapts to power-sensitive scenarios such as battery-powered cameras, smart door lock front-ends, and solar-powered outdoor cameras.

Full compatibility features: Pin-to-Pin hardware compatible with T32/T32Pro, shares SDK development resources, can be combined with T32Pro to meet different tier product needs, significantly shortening product R&D cycles.

‌2.3 T32Pro Series: Mid-to-High-End Professional Grade [Core Tags: All-Round 4K H.265, Multi-Camera, 1T AI Computing Power, High-Performance Vision Processing]‌

Focuses on high-performance vision processing. Supports 4K@30fps H.265 ultra-high-definition encoding, dual 4K@15fps / dual 5M@20fps multi-camera applications, and 2M@120fps high-frame-rate capture. Dynamic scene processing capability is outstanding, adapting to professional-grade high-definition surveillance needs.

Memory is further optimized, supporting 4K single-camera 512Mbit DDR solutions. It also comes with different built-in DDR specifications (512Mbit, 1Gbit, 2Gbit), adapting to the memory and bandwidth requirements of different scenarios like high resolution, multi-camera, and high frame rate.
