DM8168 VIP capture without tvp7002

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVP7002

Hi,

I have a plan to capture video through FPGA, without tvp7002, that means we do not have a daught card. But I do not know how to capture the video from the external source, the question as follows:

 

1. Can I use the capture_encode examples for the capture program.

 

2. I capture 1080P video, the clock will be which frequency? 27MHz? 13.5MHz?

3. Now, In my capture, there is no data in the outfile, size always 0 byte.

Can someone give me some advise?

Thanks!

    Yes, you can use it but it will require modifications as you have your own FPGA chip.

    That really depends on what fps you want to driver 1080. 1080P60 requires 148.5MHz according to standards.

  • Thanks for your reply, HardikShah, but I still have some question as follow:

    1 the clock is external clock? That means FPGA will give the clock signals(148.5MHz) for DM8168?

     2 I donnot use V4l2 to capture video, I use VFCC which in omx examples capture_encoder example for video capture, so we do not have some drivers for FPGA? FPGA give the standard BT656 video. I do not know how to modify the examples, can you give me some advises?

    Thanks!
