Digital camera interface (DCI)
25.1.
Overview
DCI is a parallel interface to capture video or picture from a camera. It supports various color
space such as YUV/RGB, as well as compression format such as JPEG.
25.2.
Characteristics
Digital video/picture capture
8/10/12/14 data width supported
High transfer efficiency with DMA interface
Video/picture crop supported
Various pixel digital encoding formats supported including YCbCr422/RGB565
JPEG compression format supported
Hard/embedded synchronous signals supported

The signal processing module generates useful signals for other internal modules from
external input signals. The frequency of HCLK should be 2.5 times higher than DCI_PixClk to
ensure the proper operation of signal processing module.
The embedded sync detection module is designed to support embedded synchronization
mode. In DCI embedded synchronization mode, video synchronization information is
embedded into pixel data and there is no hardware horizontal or vertical synchronization
