Hi imbichie,
thanks for the information. How about if there are several webcams, say, 8, which are used at different area, then these webcams are connected via network, and will be access by only one computer. (Meaning, these 8 webcams are placed at separate areas, then we will use 1 main computer to view these 8 videos). And this main computer will be connected to fpga board, and fpga board will retrieve 8 of these videos, and process them at the same time... Is it possible?
For your option number 3, Xilinx has something called "Platform Cable USB-II G". Some sort of connector from pc to FPGA board. I assume some programming in VHDL is required to fed the video into fpga board, is it true? If so, would you mind guiding me as to how to fed the video into the fpga board..? Do we need to design a circuit of logic gates etc? Thanks alot.
Best regards,
