Hi folk,
This is repeating my request from a previous post, but if anyone has a design for a SD/FF I would be quite happy to design a board, program chips etc. on a not for profit basis. I'm a soon to graduate electronic engineer, and am quite happy to do moderate level design work, though I only have a limited home workshop/lab. I've never even seen an SD/FF: what chips do they use? Do they require custom chips? That Tvia chip looks interesting, though I'm yet to see a publicly available data sheet. In my experience, companies such as this will only offer detailed info to known mass producers (o/w many companies will just ignore requests). Without a data sheet, it's not possible to say EXACTLY what the chip is capable of. Also found this:
Q: Can I use the TrueView 5700 as a digital line doubler.
A: The Trueview 5700 can be used in a digital line doubler/deinterlacer application. In this case it would take 8 bit YCbCr video in and output 16 bit YCbCr video at twice the line rate.
If that is the limit of its capabilities, then it is not very promising.
I should also note that I have not given this topic much consideration/research as yet. If I take it on, it will definitely be after completion of my thesis. I'm also not likely to do a design from scratch. If anyone has any info, please make a post.
Cheers
