DM365 multiple camera input - paranormal camera

I'd like to see a camera based off DM365 that can support 2 or 3 cameras9(e.g. 2M cmos image sensor) at the same time(paranormal), is this do-able at all? thanks!

    DM365 has ONE dedicated video input port; therefore you would have to use an external part to merge the 3 camera inputs into a single video input going to DM365, assuming you need them all streaming video at the same time.

    Au-Zone Technologies Inc has developed an IP solution that enables the interface and image processing of 2 or more CMOS image sensors using the DM36x. The implementation includes the VHDL code which can be implemented on a low cost CPLD, image path firmware, and full Linux driver support.  Further details can be found on our TI 3rd party partner page:

    thanks! meanwhile I'm thinking using the existing camera interface and one USB interface to do dual-cameras, not sure how feasible that is at this point though.

    How would this impact the quality of the video?  Does it integrate well with the dvsdk and evm? Would changing platforms to something like DM6446 (2 video ports) be more efficient and cost effective to integrate at this point?  In my case, the designer just added a second video to the product and I am pondering the 2 alternatives.

    Hello,

    I am looking for a quick way to interface with 2 cameras (one HD and one low quality CIF).

    Based on my requirements, I need one HD camera to be plugged in on the ISIF front-end interface (which I have done successfully until now) and one other camera (with CIF or VGA resolution) to the DM365.

    My idea is to connect the following CIF camera on the DaVinci's GPIO input http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8667

    I2C, clocks, etc. are already there.

    Do you think it's possible? Connecting a camera to the GPIO?
