Video Design to an ethernet 10/100 4

[DanielJackMorley]

I am looking to have a video chip (MT9V032) to a coldfire processor (66mhz) which is connected to a 10/100 Ethernet port. I am trying to develop a system to display this image onto a web page. It needs to be at least 60 frames per second. I have little familiarity with video and am worried that the 100 Mbit/s limitation would impact the upload speed to the computer screen.

Depends on what you are going to do with it, doesn't it? If only MP4, then why not an MP4 engine?

What is a MP4 engine. I am trying to compress this sensor data so that I can have a 60 fps video feed. The image quality can be bad. My belief is the MPEG-4 is typically used in these type of applications. Is my logic wrong?

The Mobilygen MG1264 (for example) is a single chip H.264 video encoder.

I'm sure there are many similar ICs.

I'm not too sure about "60 fps", unless you mean interlaced fields (vice frames). North American video is 30 frames per second (or 29.97).

When discussing video encoding, it's best to refer to the video encoding standards, such as H.264 (not "MPEG-4").

I'll say it one more time and then beg out of this conversation... what you are asking for can be done by COTS equipment. Considering this is a one-off, I see zero value in trying to do something custom. You will spend years trying to write the software alone from scratch... I know, because I've written it before, and I have quite a bit of experience with image/video codecs under my belt.

That is a question I was go ask after I determined this design is possible. I am pretty sure it is now. So I will ask it. I am trying to a have a web face(TCP/IP) interface to control a robot. The processor does other things like turn on motor drivers and the like. I have this working already and wish to add a video to this realized design. My current theory is a vga chip (MT9V032) with a compression chip (TMS320DM355). If I am right MPEG-4/H.264 should compress the data to about 1 MBS. I probably what to add speakers and the like as well. I am not aware of any COTS product that does all this. I am assuming the TI compression chip does all this for you. I have a support ticket with TI at this stage. If there is a better solution let me know, I agree I am a little over my head at this stage.
