Function

The SD Encoder board reads pixel data from CMOS sensor and encodes the video for SD-card storage. It also provides a secondary video channel which is later used for live feed.

The board contains Ambarella video processor SoC, very popular in various Action Cameras. Ambarella controls the sensor input, SD-card output and secondary video feed output. All other components on the board are supplemental, required by Ambarella.

Variants

Several versions of the board are known.
