Digital View Introduces AI at the Display Edge

Next gen display systems

Picture a 55-inch retail display that not only shows ads but knows when a passer-by stops, looks, and smiles. No cloud latency, no privacy panic - all the inference happens on a board bolted behind the panel.

The shift to on-panel intelligence

Cloud GPUs are amazing, yet shipping every video frame upstream is a bandwidth and security headache. Edge AI solves that by pushing inference directly to the point of capture and display. With the ALC-4096-AIH you get:

  • 4K input on HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C with 4K panel support.
  • Hailo 8 accelerator at 26 TOPS for real-time vision models.
  • Raspberry Pi CM5 running full Linux for UX, networking and storage.
  • A single 12 V or 24 V supply that fits existing signage and kiosk power rails.

Why “Display Edge” is different

Traditional edge boxes sit in a cabinet meters away. Our controller sits millimeters from the LCD’s timing board. That closeness unlocks three wins:

  1. Lower latency — processed pixels hit the glass in the next refresh.
  2. Simpler thermals — shared heatsink path with the panel chassis.
  3. Cleaner installs — no extra mini-PC or GPU dangling in the enclosure.

Early use cases

  • Smart retail: GDPR compliant data collection.
  • Industrial HMI: Anomaly detection directly on a operator panel.
  • Mobile medical carts: Ultrasound probes stream through CM5, AI highlights areas of interest for clinicians. 

What you’ll see on this blog

Over the coming weeks we will share:

  • Information and resources.
  • Use case examples.
  • News and reviews.
