Connecting to image sensor with K series MCU

[josephchen]

Is it possible to connect K63 to image sensor and retrieve pictures or video clips?

Hello,

Check this AN:

Is it only for picture capturing or also including video clips?

Is the decompression necessary? By MCU or image sensor itself or external DSP?

Hello,

The demo is capturing the CMOS sensor using GPIO and sending the frames to display. It is a raw image and low resolution (QVGA) and low frame rate. No video player.

If you need to play video files, video streaming, compress/encode CMOS sensor stream, etc you need to go to more powerful device with the appropriated peripheral, look at the i.Mx family.
