Video system processing using FPGA and modules required like battery management, etc

I have to design a PCB where a FPGA, ASIC or SOC will be used and the system has to be able to record the video from a camera and display the live video in a display HD. The camera has a resolution 720p a 60fps and it will be connected by MIPI interface. So I have some questions: Are there any development board which is able to do that?. Would it be enough with the FPGA or also is necessary a processor like an ARM? Is is possible to do that with a ARM processor only? would it be easier than with a FPGA? Is it necessary to add external memory like EEPROM, SDRAM or FLASH in order to process the video data? Is it possible to buy just the FPGA chip and design the layout of all modules around it for myself(I mean battery management system, dc/dc converter, LDO, Led driver, etc) Thanks in advance Regards Javier

    Hi Marco,

    The choice between FPGA and ARM based system depends on many factors but the most important is which OS you prefer to use. I can recommend you some TI's platforms which support incoming video stream with resolution 720p@60 fps. These are DM814x, DM816x and AM437x but the DM37x does not support 60 fps. The listed processors are equipped with a subsystem (IVA) providing hardware video acceleration. The complete system needs of SDRAM and flash for processing and storing the video.

    It is possible to buy only the processor or FPGA and make your own design for the layout.
