Camera

Hello,
I am trying to an image camera for doing some DSP work.  I want to have it
to connect to my C6711DSK board.  I have heard that there are some that
allows one to read a full line of pixels upon a clock trigger, which could
be easily generated with the DSK.  But so far I have only been able to find
video cameras with NTSC signal output, which requires a frame grabber.  For
still images, I am able to find CCD sensors but that require a whole board
load of timer and ADC chipsets to get it to work.  Can someone point me to a
company that makes these integrated camera modules?

Actually I am not sure what is the difference between a digital video camera
vs a digital still camera.  Is the video version just a faster still camera?

Take a look at the DSKcam ... www.BiTEC.Ltd.uk

The DSKcam is  low cost camera daughter card for the TI range of DSKs.
It has been used on many applications such as VOIP, image processing
and surveillance. It can also be used as the basis of a powerful
embedded smart camera.

Regards
