Huddly C1 sets a new high watermark for Edge AI in video collaboration

Edge AI has always been our thing. Processing data directly on the device enables sharp video, clear audio, and smart, adaptive framing. In short, video meetings that truly empower teamwork. We were first to bring Edge AI into video conferencing with Huddly IQ™, then first again to deliver it across multiple devices with the Huddly Crew™ multi-camera system. Now, C1 takes it to a new level.

“Huddly C1, based on Ambarella’s powerful third-generation CVflow® AI accelerator, is a new high watermark for Edge AI in video collaboration,” comments Stein Ove Eriksen, Huddly Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. “For any organization serious about collaboration, there’s simply no alternative,”

Performance at the Edge

At the heart of C1 is the next generation of Huddly Intelligence—on-device machine learning trained to empower natural, effective collaboration. On C1, it runs on Ambarella’s CV72S AI SoC, the same technology used in robotics and autonomous driving. Built on a 5 nm process that delivers industry-leading efficiency at under 3 W, the CV72S provides 20× more AI processing power, delivering crisp image quality, framing that adapts naturally to the conversation, and AI-driven audio that suppresses noise and echo while amplifying voices.

As the first videobar to run on this AI SoC, C1 stands apart in an increasingly crowded market, bringing high-performance intelligence to small and medium rooms everywhere.

Jerome Gigot, Ambarella’s VP of Edge AI Marketing, highlights the alignment between the two companies: “We’re excited Huddly chose our CV72S AI SoC for their Huddly C1 videobar. Our technologies are a perfect match to drive groundbreaking innovation in the AV industry. Huddly’s forward-thinking vision and cutting-edge approach to real-time video experiences perfectly showcase the capabilities of Ambarella’s Edge AI platform, enabling advanced solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

Built to evolve and scale

C1 is designed to evolve with changing workplace needs. Its modular design lets it perform as a standalone videobar or expand seamlessly into a multi-camera setup with Huddly Crew Add-On Cameras.

Driven by Huddly’s commitment to continuous innovation, C1 continues to advance through software updates, keeping organizations ahead without replacing hardware. Ambarella’s Cooper™ Developer Platform accelerates the iteration and deployment of new AI capabilities at the edge.

Shaping what’s next

Technology moves fast—what’s new today can feel outdated in a few years, and the meeting room is no exception. That’s why C1’s hardware foundation and AI processing power matter: they ensure it’s more than ready for whatever comes next.

Huddly’s Chief Technology Officer Vegard Hammer puts it plainly: “The future of meetings will be built around AI models and neural networking. To ensure our products are still relevant five years from now, we’ve invested in capable hardware today. First and foremost, it's an investment in the future. And that future is being shaped right now.”
