## RVC2 inside

This OAK device is built on top of the [RVC2](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/rvc/rvc2.md) architecture, with main
features being:

4 TOPS of processing power (1.4 TOPS for AI) - [RVC2 NN Performance](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/rvc/rvc2.md) Run
any AI model, even custom-architectured/built ones - models need to [be
converted](https://docs.luxonis.com/software/ai-inference/conversion.md). Encoding: H.264, H.265, MJPEG - 4K/30FPS, 1080P/60FPS
Computer vision: warp/dewarp, resize, crop via
[ImageManip](https://docs.luxonis.com/software/depthai-components/nodes/image_manip.md) node, [edge
detection](https://docs.luxonis.com/software/depthai/examples/edge_detector.md), [feature
tracking](https://docs.luxonis.com/software/depthai/examples/feature_tracker.md). You can also [run custom CV
functions](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/depthai/tutorials/on-device-programming.md) Object tracking: 2D and 3D tracking
with [ObjectTracker](https://docs.luxonis.com/software/depthai-components/nodes/object_tracker.md) node On-device programming: Run
custom logic/tasks on-device ([guide](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/depthai/tutorials/on-device-programming.md))

## Connectors

M8 aux connector has 8pin female A-coded connector and the M12 ethernet has 8pin female X-coded connector. Cameras also include an
M8 connector cap for waterproofing in case the M8 connector wouldn't be used.

| Pin | M12 pin | M8 pin | M8 functionality |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Eth MX0+ | BOOT | Pull this pin high with 10k resistor at startup for **USB boot**. |
| 2 | Eth MX0- | FSYNC ISO | Isolated Frame synchronization input signal for cameras |
| 3 | Eth MX1+ | USB D+ | USB 2.0 interface that can be used to connect to the OAK device (eg. reflash) if USB boot is enabled
(via AUX GPIO 3V3). |
| 4 | Eth MX1- | USB D- | USB 2.0 interface that can be used to connect to the OAK device (eg. reflash) if USB boot is enabled
(via AUX GPIO 3V3). |
| 5 | Eth MX3+ | VBUSIN | This pin is used for sourcing 5V power to accessory devices connected to the M8 connector. If trying to
boot the device in USB boot mode, this pin can also sink current. |
| 6 | Eth MX3- | Strobe ISO | Isolated Strobe output signal for cameras |
| 7 | Eth MX2+ | GPIO 5V | GPIO 5V control signal |
| 8 | Eth MX2- | GND | Ground |

External triggering: Sensors require 1V8 rising edge on FSYNC for the trigger event. The input trigger voltage should be 5V (goes
through a level shifter to 1V8). For an example, see [External FSYNC
Example](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/deploy/frame-sync.md).

## Power consumption

Most of the power is consumed by the [RVC2](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/rvc/rvc2.md), so the power consumption
mostly depends on the workload of the VPU:

Base consumption + PoE circuitry + camera streaming: 3W - 3.5W AI subsystem consumption: Up to 1W Stereo depth pipeline subsystem:
Up to 0.5W Video Encoder subsystem: Up to 0.5W

To reduce the power consumption, you can reduce FPS of the whole pipeline - that way, subsystems won't be utilized at 100% and
will consume less power.

## IMU

This OAK camera has an integrated BNO086, a 9-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). See [IMU
node](https://docs.luxonis.com/software/depthai-components/nodes/imu.md) for the API details on how to use it.

## Operating temperature

The ambient operating temperature of [RVC2](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/rvc/rvc2.md)-based devices is between -20°C
and 50°C when fully utilizing the VPU.

Similarly to the power consumption, the max operating temperature depends on VPU utilization. The higher the VPU utilization, the
more heat the VPU will generate. The RVC2 VPU can continuously operate at 105 °C, after which the depthai library will
automatically shut down the device (to avoid chip damage).
