1. RK3568 has powerful core processing capabilities to ensure the stability and efficiency of data processing for backend devices.

The RK3568 CPU features a quad-core Cortex-A55 architecture based on the new Arm v8.2-A architecture, effectively enhancing performance. It uses advanced 22nm technology for low power consumption and high performance.
The GPU is Mali-G52 2EE with a dual-core architecture, supporting image APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, 2.0, 1.1, and Vulkan 1.1.
It includes Rockchip’s self-developed third-generation NPU RKNN, with a computing power of 0.8 Tops, supporting one-click conversion of mainstream architecture models such as Caffe/TensorFlow/TFLite/ONNX/PyTorch/Keras/Darknet.
Powerful encoding and decoding capabilities: supporting multiple formats of high-definition decoding such as 4K H.264/H.265, supporting simultaneous decoding of multiple video sources, with a maximum of 10*1080P30 H264/H265, supporting encoding and decoding simultaneously; supporting 1080@120fps H.264 and H.265 encoding, supporting CBR, VBR, FixQp, AVBR, and QpMap, and supporting ROI encoding.

2. RK3568 supports a rich variety of RAM/ROM types, ensuring safety and reliability for data storage.

Supports a wide range of DDR chip types, including DDR3/DDR3L/DDR4/LP3/LP4/LP4x, and supports full-link ECC for DDR3 and DDR4, meeting the requirements for high-reliability products such as industrial control, with a 32-bit width and a maximum data rate of 3200 Mbps, providing ample bandwidth to meet the demands of intelligent security NVR/XVR scenarios.
Supports various Flash types, including SPI NOR / SPI NAND Flash / NAND Flash / eMMC, supporting dual ROM coexistence design of SPI Flash + eMMC, meeting differentiated dual-system design needs.
Provides tested DDR core templates and core component selection tables for customers to facilitate rapid productization.

3. RK3568 features excellent power consumption control technology, resulting in lower heat generation and better environmental adaptability.

Rockchip’s self-developed S-Boost power consumption control technology improves performance by 10% at the same voltage and reduces power consumption by 20% at the same frequency. Combined with the energy-saving advantages of the 22nm advanced process, it ensures more balanced heat generation for security backend products and more reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
Rockchip’s self-developed super standby mode, under LPDDR4X application schemes, can reduce overall power consumption to 1.6mA (3.8V supply) through a combination of software and hardware, suitable for products with special low-power requirements.

4. RK3568 supports a rich variety of interface expansions, supporting three-screen display to meet diverse security scenario needs.

Features more flexible IOMUX with multifunctional pin combinations, allowing selection based on product needs to meet a wider range of functional combination requirements.

Supports various video input/output interfaces, with output interfaces supporting built-in touch screens, capable of supporting up to three-screen displays; input interfaces can connect external cameras or expand multi-camera input capabilities. Compared to traditional NVR/XVR solutions, RK3568 includes local display output interfaces and camera input interfaces, achieving integrated display, which aids in the application of various types of security backend product forms.

Video Input/Output Interfaces

High-speed interface options are abundant, supporting 2 RGMII interfaces, PCIE2.1, PCIE3.0, and up to 3 SATA3.0, 2 USB2.0, and 2 USB3.0; PCIE interfaces enable high-speed throughput applications for 5G and WiFi6, supporting operations for carriers and cloud services.

USB/Multi PHY Interfaces

The RK3568 security backend NVR/XVR solution, besides traditional access, storage, forwarding, and decoding applications, based on its high-performance AI computing power, can also develop intelligent applications in areas such as face comparison alarms, intelligent vehicle and human retrieval, perimeter breach warnings, and fire visual warnings, reconstructing edge value.

Face Comparison Alarm

The RK3568 solution supports video stream or image stream detection and recognition, outputting real-time face comparisons by identifying face attributes such as gender, age, and expression.

Intelligent Vehicle and Human Retrieval

Supports image-to-image search, face-to-face search, comparative linkage, second-level retrieval, and deployment alarms.

Perimeter Breach Alarm

Based on Rockchip’s self-developed efficient RKNN AI processing unit, the RK3568 solution implements applications for area intrusion and perimeter detection, identifying targets such as humans and vehicles, filtering various environmental interferences like plants, shadows, and small animals to avoid false alarms caused by non-human or vehicle factors.

Fire Visual Warning

Based on the powerful core processing capabilities of RK3568, it supports a security NVR system centered around temperature rise detection and smoke detection, capable of marking smoke and fire points, enabling rapid video linkage verification to meet early fire detection needs.

Currently, the RK3568 security backend solution has entered mass production. Meanwhile, based on RK3568, Rockchip has launched two evaluation development boards, specifically an evaluation board for NVR/XVR scenarios and a DDR4 evaluation board for industrial control security scenarios, aiming to allow downstream partners to quickly adapt and verify related product functions, facilitating the comprehensive hardware upgrade and product landing of the new generation of intelligent security backend devices.
