OMAP35x Possibilities?

GC

Hi all,

I am new to OMAP and what what I understand it may be a suitable platform for a project I will be working on. Though I do have a couple of questions before I commit to purchasing the OMAP3 EVM. Most of my research material points to OMAP being suitable for portable devices, my implementation would put it into the home environment.

Ideally, I wish to capture a MPEG2 stream and overlay images by writing data directly to the frame buffer and thereby outputting the combined video and image. An example would be placing a watermark over the video that is being acquired.  I am aware that there is a daughter card can capture video and therefore I will purchase one them if necessary. The output resolution I am looking for is 576i PAL.

The DaVinci processors would seem to suit my needs but it is a little pricey that is why I wish to try OMAP.

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Either the Davinci devices or OMAP3 would be suitable for this sort of application, the Davinci devices are more straight forward for this sort of video processing, for example see this application note. You can do the same sort of operations on OMAP3 though I do not know of an out of the box application note for it, in the worst case you could implement this in software.
