Full HD streamer for a communication transmitter

[barbeker]

as a part of a project i need to use the RPI as a full HD video streamer, which will be conected to a video camrea on one side and push the video throuh the USB port on the otherside at a rate of 4-10 Mbps (the format could could be anything at all). is it even possiable? if so any idea on how to start?

thank you very much

You want to turn the Raspberry Pi into a webcam ? "push the video throuh the USB port" sounds very vague , the Pi Models B , B+ and B2 cannot act as USB device.

i want to connect the Pi to a camera on one side and be able to transmit the data to another device which has a serial input. i tought i would use a USB-UART converter in order to support high data rates.

Which type of camera ? DSLR ? IP-Camera ? Camcorder ? A random "CSI module" from Alibaba/EBay ?

Raw HD video is around 1 Gbit/s. Compressed with a good implementation of H.264 that can be brought down to around 5 Mbit/s which is still somewhat higher than the serial interfaces in USB UARTs are expected to run at.
