Mali-C78AE is designed for use in combined advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and surround view applications that share cameras for both functions.

Mali-C78AE provides multicamera support with up to four real time or up to 16 virtual cameras. This multicamera support offers a wide range of data output formats that is aligned with Arm Compression Technology. The data formats provide the flexibility to support both human and machine vision applications. Building on the capabilities of the Mali-C71AE ISP and bringing class-leading image quality performance across from the Mali-C52 IoT product, this new design introduces enhanced capabilities for both ADAS and display-to-driver applications for automotive vision systems.
