So we know the current Phantom 4 Pro image processor uses the Ambarella H1-A1-RH. Dji has said this week that the Mavic Air now uses this same image processor. It's also very reasonable to expect that the Mavic Pro-II will also get this ISP and well as our beloved P4P 1inch-type Sony sensor!
So, I was thinking about where DJI could take the Phantom 5. I strongly suspect that DJI will move the Phantom 5 closer to the Inspire-II and give it full 10bit color with an upgraded image processor. (possibly 150mbp/s+ HEVC for 4:2:2 sampled 10bit color)
This would be the the justification needed to keep the Phantom 5 series moving forward and above the new Mavic Pro-II. So, I went to Ambarella's web site and looked up their latest image processor (ISP) and found this:
The Ambarella H2 processor now on the market that will do:
Image Processing
° 3D motion-compensated noise reduction (MCTF)
° Adjustable AE / AWB / AF
° Lens Distortion Correction (LDC) for wide-angle-lens
° Defect pixel correction
° Geometric and chroma lens distortion correction
° Backlight compensation
° Electronic Image Stabilization and tilt correction up to 4Kp60
° Crop, mirror, flip, 90 ° / 270 ° rotation
Video Encoding
° H.265 / HEVC MP Level 5.1 encoding up to 4K, 60p in 10 bit color
° H.264 MP / HP Level 5.2 encoding up to 4K, 120p
° Simultaneous streams
° Multiple CBR and VBR rate control modes
There are no mention of actual bit rates that it can do but this "COULD" be what DJI is looking at for the next Phantom 5.
Your thoughts?
