I am going to work with the CMOS sensor interface of a directinsight Triton TX51 and a TVP5150AM1. The TVP5150 will feed pins 103-110 (D[0:7]) on the TX51 with data from an anologue video camera. Additionally they will feed 112, 113, 114 (HSYNC, VSYNC, and PIXCLK respectivly). My concern comes with MCLK (pin 115 on the TX51). I do not see an input for an MCLK on the TVP5150AM1. Is this a necissary CLK? I have found others one ubuntu forums that have written code for this configuration of parts, so I know this is possible and has been done before. My current assumption is that MCLK is used for MUX between two CMOS inputs, does your TVP5150AM1 need to have a MCLK signal tied to anything?
