OT: cheapest possible camera for BF533 EZ-Kit

Started by Richard Armstrong ●August 5, 2003
Hi all,

On a mad whim, I just bought a Blackfin EZ-Kit (BF533). The board comes with
all sorts of cool I/O peripherals attached, including three video ins. Now,
all I need is a camera (or three) to connect to the darn thing so I can
start playing.

The "Product Highlights" brochure says that the onboard adv7183 decoder will
take "Composite, S-Video and Component Analog Video".

Anybody know where I can find a cheap video camera that'll work with this
board? I've Googled around a bit but haven't found anything below about
$300.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated,

Rick

Hi,
why don't you look for a cheap surveillance camera at ebay.com? Serach
for "surveillance cctv" and you have a nice choice of B/W and color
cameras with prices starting at about US $ 50.

How's about a VHS player with a video output? At least you have
plenty of source material ...
