Composite input via camera input

[AdamK]

Hello

I'm looking if there are any addon boards that allow to capture composite signal using camera interface. I know, there are off-the-shelf IC chips that do required conversion, but I do not have skills required to do it myself, so, I'm looking for out-of-the-box solution for RPi. Is there any?

So you have a Digital Camera with Composite Output ?

If so search for STK1160 USB Capture Card: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/S ... re_devices

I'm not intrested in solution that uses USB - I need the bandwidth for Ethernet.

Then you are out of luck.

No such "camera/CSI/video" board exists. It cannot even exist, as the interface is proprietary and undocumented.

Before you ask, GPIO is also out - to slow for such a digitizer.

The fact that the mentioned thread never came to an meaningful conclusion says it all.

It looks like the analog devices adv7281 does do composite, s, or component video to csi2. There's no support for it though on Pi, so interfacing to it would be up to you.
You can get access to the raw csi2 peripheral - see the camera forum thread "Raw sensor access/Csi2 peripheral". It's not trivial though, and no guarantees that the incoming data is in a format that is particularly useful (these chips tend to produce yuyv, and very little on the Gpu will deal with that natively).
I very much doubt anyone will have produced an appropriate board to do what you want - you'll have to get your own made, if you can get a supply of the chips in small quantities.
