  • Page 8: Basic Structure

    VC20XX Operating Manual 2 Basic Structure The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One or two channels of video output are digitized. An input lookup-table is available for basic pixel-preprocessing. The image is stored in SDRAM memory using one of the 16 DMA channels (EDMA). The video and graphics display on the monitor is performed in a very similar way: Data is stored in the main SDRAM memory, either due to a previous video capture or to computing by the DSP.
