Next-generation, purpose-built system-on-chip launched by Axis

Axis Communications has announced the 9th generation of its purpose-built system-on-chip (SoC). ARTPEC-9 builds on and refines capabilities and features that characterise previous generations of the company’s in-house-designed SoC: Exceptionally low bitrate, AI-powered analytics, quality imaging and enhanced cybersecurity. Axis will begin including the ARTPEC-9 SoC in select network video products beginning early 2025.

In addition, in a first for the network video industry, ARTPEC-9 supports the proven AV1 video encoding standard from the Alliance for Open Media (AOM). Together with Axis Zipstream, AV1 makes it easy to reduce storage cost without sacrificing forensic detail.

Enhanced imaging and superior performance
ARTPEC-9 boosts the powerful signature technologies that have long facilitated market-leading Axis image processing under difficult light conditions, including Axis Lightfinder and Axis Forensic Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). These are part of the foundation for Axis Scene Intelligence technology, which increases the performance of analytics applications.

The outcome is consistent analytics results and fast, accurate forensic search capabilities with minimal false alarms even under challenging surveillance conditions. ARTPEC-9, along with Axis decades of experience with image processing, means security teams will acheive reliable, high-quality results in any situation.

Next generation analytics
ARTPEC-9 opens the door for more advanced AI analytics with increased performance that ‘see’ further away. In other words, analytics that detect smaller objects and triggers earlier to deliver actionable insights for security, safety, and operational purposes. The higher accuracy of analytics will recognise and differentiate between more object classes for more granular, nuanced, object classification.

Strengthened Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is at the core of ARTPEC-9’s design. Features like secure boot and signed OS ensure that each device remains protected from cyber threats. Additionally, since ARTPEC-9 is developed in-house, Axis retains full control over the production process, further strengthening device security.

New benefits for surveillance
Axis introduces AV1, the next generation open video encoding standard for streaming media to the surveillance industry. Support for AV1 and enhanced image processing mean ARTPEC-9 delivers high-quality video with uncompromised detail and clarity and best-in-class bitrate. Together with Axis Zipstream, AV1, ensures hassle-free video both on-prem and in the cloud. AV1 is currently supported by AXIS Camera Station. Providers of major video management solutions (VMS) like Genetec and Milestone will be adding support for AV1, with further developments already underway.

“ARTPEC-9, with its industry-first support for AV1, allows for attractive bitrate and extended client compatibility. It’s really a win for the industry,” says Johan Paulsson, Chief Technology Officer at Axis Communications. “The keywords are ‘easy access,’ and ‘open’, which align perfectly with how we work to fulfill our promise of innovating for a smarter, safer world. Plus, like all our SoCs, ARTPEC-9 is made expressly for high-quality network video. And, as always, we retain complete control of the SoC production process.”
