Lol , so ask them then and let us know if you get a response.

Wait, you said that while throwing arrows at Viofo, so justify it, ask and give an answer to the community. Otherwise you look like a chatterbox with other people's words.😎

Excuse me?

You're the one that asked for where the manufacturer said that it was the chipset number. Even though I said in my original post that Viofo said it was the chipset.

So you have the gall to claim that I am throwing arrows, when you didn't even read my original post PROPERLY, and started throwing arrows at me.

Hypocritical, don't you think?

 

[gse]

Hypocritical, don't you think?

I don't think so, if you say A, then you need to say B, give explanations or prove what you are writing, and not send them to search on the Internet. In the end, I saw nothing but words. When there is something on the merits, write on the forum, it will be useful. Good luck.

Just because you are too lazy (or dumb) to search for where Viofo made their post, it says a lot about the person you are.

I know a lot of people on these forums have problems admitting when they are wrong. Like yourself. Best of luck.

Stooping to the level of name calling reveals your entire essence and who you really are.,🤔

You started it lol. Are you that stupid?

Which when you Google it, then that becomes very similar to NT98528/NT98529 etc etc

Yeah, same as Novatek NT96580, not sure why they call it by a different model number when they are the exact same chipset

Why should I look for something and somewhere?
You need to prove that NT96580 and NT98528 are the same. This is your statement.
I showed proof of the information I wrote.
I hope the user @JeWell will post photos of the E1 Pro disassembly on the forum.

Well Alex, it is a free world and you have exactly that choice whether you want to know or look for something or not. Or challenge someone else on their statement.

To assert something, you need to have evidence, and not turn the forum into a farce.
People come here for reliable information, not for fiction.
Suggesting that people who read the information in your post look for confirmation of it on the Internet is somehow wrong.

Lmao easy there Alexander. You get offended easily haha. You must be a lot of fun at parties 🤣

There is no NT96680. The NT96580 is also called as NT98528, the advanced version is NT98529.

I was getting ready to post a link to that post by VIOFO. 🙂

There is another possibility that they confused the numbers in the NT96580 as being NT98560.

What I saw a lot when in the electronics world were a manufacturer would offer the same chip with the same, or slightly different features to a particular customer. This was usually driven by that customer wanting a special set of features or limitations. So a company to prevent confusion with other manufacturers thinking a certain chip had or did not have a set of features, they would gladly make a production run with whatever feature set but a different number. Component wise, it was exactly the same product, just that software wise there were slight differences, or perhaps how it would be mounted to the board.

Of course, sometimes there were no differences and the end customer just wanted a marketing advantage. But, who knows, a Novatek employee might have typed in the wrong characters when the chip went through etching process for identification. Turn out 15,000 like that and you don't trash them, you just add that number to the catalogue. 🙂

Spot on, could be a different part but mostly the same exactly as you say. One example that springs to my mind is the chips Qualcomm makes for phones. There's ones that are Snapdragon XX for Galaxy, which are just higher clock speed versions of the generic Snapdragon XX. Which then get released later on to other phones as the exact same version and specs, but drop the 'for Galaxy' bit in the name.

As for Novatek datasheets from the last few years, good luck, no one has had any real luck finding them

As an example, here are datasheets for Novatek processors. But to download them, you need to know Chinese. If someone is good at this, they can help with their participation.

Yes I already saw that, I can Google (unlike some people on the forums haha ) but looks like it's behind a paywall.

I was there earlier today, my browser translated or I hit the English side of the site. The downloads (pdf) might be Mandarin though. I can't download due to my VPN so I may quit the VPN and give it another try.

Yeah, just killed the VPN and I get the pop up for login/paywall. Bummer.

Photos of the disassembly process.

In theory, it was possible not to unscrew the screws that secure the connection connector. But I did not know how to disassemble this device, so I started with them.

The main idea is that the case is assembled on both sides: where the lens is, there are just latches, and where the screen is, there is double-sided tape, under which there are screws. To unstick the screen, you need to warm it up a little (with a hot gun at 150-160 degrees Celsius) and lift it with a sharp blade.

Then everything is unscrewed. The boards are assembled in a "sandwich", one above the other and connected via a connector.

Although the processor does not heat up that much, the radiator, to which the heat from the processor should be dissipated, could dissipate this heat much better if the heat sink was implemented correctly. Now the heat is removed through thermal paste to the shielding metal plate, and from the plate through the pink heat-conducting "chewing gum" to the radiator. Moreover, the radiator does not fit tightly to the shielding plate because the metallized tape is in the way, and there is very little of this pink substance there.

The board with the video sensor on a separate cable.
On the sides of the video sensor are located supercapacitors, which greatly saves space in a miniature case.

 

[JeWell]

The lens holder and the lens itself are plastic.

The heat from the video sensor is not removed anywhere at all, except to its board. The 70mai a810 device has the same video sensor, and there is a radiator there to remove heat from the video sensor.
