Architectural & Application Breakdown
| Digi ConnectCore MP1 | Digi ConnectCore MP2 | Digi ConnectCore 95 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Compact, Cost-Optimized Gateway | The Balanced Machine Vision Platform | The Ultimate High-Performance AI Hub | |
| Target Focus | Battery-powered IoT devices, low-power industrial sensor aggregation, and simple headless edge compute units. | Real-time synchronized automation, intermediate object recognition, and smart factory cameras. | Premium multi-display industrial HMIs, high-density 4K video pipelines, 10GbE network gateways, and advanced medical diagnostics. |
| The Profile | Squeezed onto Digi's absolute smallest form factor (29x29mm), the MP1 specializes in power-frugal edge intelligence. It cuts down on heavy multimedia components to maximize battery longevity, making it perfect for field monitors and basic industrial protocol conversion gateways. | Moving to a modern 64-bit multi-core setup, the MP2 hits a highly efficient sweet spot for general industry applications. By integrating Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) alongside a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and Image Signal Processor (ISP), it is tailored specifically to act as the primary compute module inside automated factory sorting and defect checking equipment. | This is Digi's high-tier performance powerhouse. Backed by up to 6 high-speed computing cores, lightning-fast LPDDR5 ECC memory, and NXP's multi-TOPS eIQ Neutron hardware accelerator, it handles several complex deep learning models simultaneously. It introduces a 10 Gigabit Ethernet bus and Wi-Fi 6E bandwidth to route massive camera streams smoothly without dropping frames. |
