Camera Link Support with DM8168

Look at DS90CR288A.

Hi,

What about TI solution,like SN65LVDS94?

If positive,can you confirm that This device can be placed between the LVDS camera and the DSP video port, with no additional FPGA required ?

As I know it shopuld be connected between the DSP and the display.....)

Our Camera Link cameras are monochromatic and has a 12-14 bit depth pixels.

I need to understand, to the details, how are pixels which are larger than 8-bit per pixels handled.

Actually, I must have all the pixel bits into the processor (so actually 16-bit per pixels should be received by the processor)

Could you please verify that ?

Hello,

The device can capture up to 16bit data into DDR.  If it needs any processing, then ARM & DSP can handle 12~14 bit data as it is.  For display/resizing, the device only supports 8bit.

Regards,

You can find the cameralink specification online, one good overview can be found here: http://www.baslerweb.com/downloads/12796/Camera_Link_Technology_Brief.pdf 

In table 4, there is a section which shows pin assignments for various different bit depths - both colour and monochrome.   The port mapping is quite different between 12 and 14 bits since at 12 bits, it sends two pixels per clock cycle, but can only send one pixel per clockcycle at 14 bits
