Hello
I am trying to do design for camera application using TDA3LX
however, I have not much intelligence about the image processing, so I would like to request to get some information.
basic concept is
1. Image data need to deliver to one external unit through two varaints below.
2. Variant 1 delivers image data to external unit through SerDes block through MIPI CSI2 interface.
3. Varant 2 transmits image data to TDA3 through MIPI CSI2 interface and then transmits video out from TDA3 to external unit through SerDes block.
The image will be transferred from image sensor as follow as the spec.
resolution 1280 x 800, 60fps, 8bits pixel depth of monochrome data,
output 12bits raw data.
Since I am a beginner in image processing, please let me know the basics.
My question is
1. 12bits raw data means RAW12 ?
2. in case of monochrome format as a raw data, is it not related with the format such a RGB888 or YUV422
3. as I know 8bits pixel depth would be a 2^8 =256 color, in this case, it could be a gray scale color or, monochrome?
4. is there relationship between 8bits pixel depth and 12bit raw data output?
