Description
Parallel interface in generic configuration
The camera ISP supports up to 12 bits (If CCDC used inside the Video processing
(SYNC mode)
hardware, data must be converted to 10 bit by the Bridge lane shifter).
The camera ISP can interface with RAW interlaced or progressive image sensors using
RGB or complementary color mosaic filters.
Parallel interface in ITU-R BT.656
The camera ISP can extract the synchronization signal start of active video and end of
configuration (ITU mode)
active video from the ITU-R BT.656 bit stream. 8-bit and 10-bit modes are supported.
CSI1 / CCP2B serial interface
The camera ISP supports one CCP2B serial interface, compatible MIPI CSI1.

MIPI CSI2 serial interfaces (CSI2A and
The camera ISP supports two MIPI CSI2 serial interface.
CSI2C) configuration (serial mode)
NOTE:
The two CSI2A and CSI2C receivers and the CSI1/CCP2B receiver can be active
simultaneously. Either the CSIPHY1 or CSIPHY2 data can go through the selected interfaces
to the video-processing hardware, while the other data are sent directly to memory by the
receiver selected.
The parallel interface is limited to 10 bits when used simultaneously with the CSI2A or CSI2C
receivers.
The parallel interface cannot be used simultaneously with the CSI1/CCP2B receiver.
