In recent years, the benefit of the global data center built to drive server demand is strong, Huawei sits on the global server remote management Chip market leader, 29th released the world's first six lenses 360-degree video processing chip Cupola360. Lin Hongming, Chairman of the letter, said Huawei in the global BMC market accounted for up to 60%, with strong SOC research and development capabilities, in order to further enhance the performance growth momentum, so decided to invest in imaging chip technology, the latest release of the 360-degree video dedicated processing chip, will become the second leg of the revenue, is expected to be the 3rd quarter, The first quarter of 2019 began to volume, the main customers include group Light, Heshuo and other ODM operators, lock monitoring or the general consumer market, the expected gross profit margin will be better than the existing BMC chip, the future is expected to drive the overall gross margin up to more than 60% new highs. Huawei's latest release of the world's first six lenses 360-degree video dedicated processing chip Cupola360, at the same time display for the 360-degree camera developed design of the app mobile applications, Huawei also for 360-degree image processing technology to apply a series of patented IP to protect intellectual property rights, Show commitment to a 360 degree camera field. Lin Hongming pointed out that in recent years, the 360-degree camera industry booming, whether in the event of tourism gatherings, driving records, or home monitoring and other situations, can have excellent application, in addition, more can be as a VR content and material, so that people in life to add more fun, However, most of the market 360-degree cameras need to match the mobile phone or computer splicing system, to increase the inconvenience of users, Huawei has a SOC research and development capabilities, so put into 360-degree imaging dedicated processing chip research and development, and take the lead in the use of six lens design, to solve the traditional two lenses in the image stitching on the shortcomings, Break through the limitations of the existing 360 cameras, not only that, the CUPOLA360 image processing chip can be real-time image stitching in the camera, users can immediately obtain 360-degree images at the moment of filming, as opposed to the traditional 360-degree camera also need to use the computer to carry out the shortcomings of the processing. Huawei's first six lens 360-degree video dedicated processing chip Cupola360, with a number of dedicated to 360 cameras created by the exclusive features and technology, including six wide-angle lenses and large picture of the sensor, 0 jet lag and sharing functions, as well as support 4K2K high-definition 360 panoramic photography. Although due to Internet cafes dedicated audio and video extension (Icafe Extender) chip specifications, revenue contribution slowed down, but the main business BMC chip demand is buoyant, Huawei 2018 years ago, April merged revenue increased by 20.42%, market expectations, Huawei 2nd quarter revenue will record a new record,
