MJPEG Format
Motion-JPEG or MJPEG is a video format in which each video frame is separately
compressed using the JPEG still-image compression algorithm. A sequence of such
frames represents the source video.
Pixel
A pixel is the smallest controllable element of a picture represented on the screen. Each
pixel is a sample of an original image; more samples typically provide more accurate
representations of the original. Typically, the number of pixels defines the resolution of the
image sensor.
RAW Format
RAW format data provides direct, unprocessed output from an image sensor. The CX3
MIPI CSI-2 receiver interface supports RAW8, RAW10, RAW12 and RAW14 formats,
where the numeric value signifies the number of bits of data per image sensor pixel. A
color filter array (such as the Bayer Filter) is typically used to obtain RGB color information
from the RAW format output.
RGB Format
A color format which defines a color space in terms of the Red, Green, and Blue (R, G, B)
components. The CX3 MIPI CSI-2 receiver interface supports RGB888, RGB666 and
RGB565 streams, where the numeric value signifies the number of bits per color
component in the stream (for example, RGB 565 has five bits of Red data, six bits of
Green data and five bits of Blue data).
Reserved Bits
RESERVED Register Bits are not meant to be changed by the user.
When writing to a register with RESERVED bits, you should ensure that the values are not
changed during a Write (preferably by doing a Read before the Write and maintaining the
values for the RESERVED bits during the Write).
SDK (Software
Development Kit)
The EZ-USB FX3 SDK (Software Development Kit) is a full-featured firmware solution that
allows customers to leverage the features of the FX3/FX3S/CX3 devices and build a
custom design in a short time. The SDK provides a firmware framework which is made up
of a set of drivers and convenience APIs for the various hardware blocks on these
devices. The drivers abstract the complexity of the FX3 device architecture and provide
easy-to-use APIs for customers to configure and control the FX3 device operation.
Socket
A DMA socket is an FX3 device construct that maps to one end of a data path into or out
of the device. More details can be found in the FX3 DMA Subsystem chapter of the
USB
Details regarding the USB subsystem on the FX3/CX3 are available in the USB chapter in
the EZ-USB FX3 TRM. The CX3 device can only operate as a USB peripheral device and
does not support the USB Host, OTG, and Charger features supported by FX3.
YUV Format
A color format that defines the color space in terms of luminance (Y) and chrominance
(UV) components. The CX3 MIPI CSI-2 receiver interface supports YUV422 8- and 10-bit
color formats.
XRESET
The CX3 output signal that can be used to reset the image sensor.
XSHUTDOWN
The CX3 output signal that can be used to control image sensor power modes.
