I'm wondering how to configure my deserializer to *hopefully* do what I need in regards to image formats. This might involve the CSICFG1 reg's IFMT bits (input format?).
I have a 1080p SONY FCB-MA130 camera board that outputs PARALLEL 16-bit YCbCr422 (8bits for Y, 8bits for C) at 81MHz. The serializer solution I found that *might* work is the ds90ub925, which is usually used for RGB888 or lesser, but is LVCMOS compatible at 3.3V. Then for deserializer I picked the newer ds90ub940 which will convert to MIPI/CSI-2 4-lane, which I need.
The DES expects RGB888 as input on FPDLink usually, but I see these "IFMT" bits on pg65 of the datasheet that might indicate a configurable input format. I'm looking at setting to "01" for YUV422. Will this do what I expect?
The MA130 can also output CSI-2, but I don't see a SER from TI that can take this in, and I need this to go the max 15 meters of distance.
