I am trying to find a processor but I am having trouble interpreting the datasheets. I am looking for a processor that can do the following: that can run 2 cameras at 1080x1920 resolution at 60fps each while running a android OS, WIFI compatible and obviously must have two inputs for the two cameras. Can someone help me find a processor that can do this or who I should ask?

Our i.MX6D and i.MX6Q processors supports up to 3 cameras.
For parallel interface, the maximum speed of the interface is 240MHz.
There is a formula in Reference Manual:
F = FH * FW * FPS * BI * DF
where FH and FW mean frame size, BI is an overhead that typically is 1.35 (35% overhead), DF is data format (number of cycles needed for each pixel).
For DF=3 (RGB888) you get 504MHz with this formula (1920*1080*1.35*60*3=503884800) which is more than 240MHz limit.
And even for DF=2 (YUV422) you get 336MHz which is still more than 240MHz.
Only in case of DF=1 (bayer format) you get 170MHz: 1920*1080*1.35*60=167961600
Please refer to chapters 9.1.2 "Video input" and 37.1.2.1.1 "Camera Ports" of i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processor Reference Manual for more details.

Have a great day,
Victor
