TDA3LX: Image processing TDA3

Part Number: TDA3LX

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 8bits raw data.

Since I am a beginner in image processing, please let me know the basics.

In TDA3, There is Display parallel interface (DPI), and the image data will be transferred through this channel.

My question is

in this case, Can I get the totally same image data that comes from Image sensor to commonize Variant 1 and variant 2

in other words, there is 24bit RGB888 format video out, and it can make a same format with the raw data(8bits gray scale) that comes from Image sensor?

  • I can not comment on Variant1 since it does not have a TI part, so I can't determine what processing is being done.

    If you want to convert from 8-bit grayscale to 24b RGB, then there will be some format conversion required. If you don't want to do format conversion, you can use YUV output format.
