Designing a video acquisition system

Jul 26, 2005 4 Replies

Hello,



I would like to design and build a video acquisition and display system - I have located some of the pieces of the system already, such as a CMOS sensor and will likely find an LCD display panel soon. It is meant to be a handheld unit, so very small form factor and PCB. The power supply will likely be LiIon custom battery.



Now here is the thing, I don't know anything about electronics yet but have a background in physics and software engineering. I would like to learn what I need to know to build this, and perhaps suggestions for development systems that I can use to figure out the design for the system and eventual burn to PCB.



Any tips, or better yet someone interested in doing this project for a very good piece of equity? ;-) (I have successfully started up, funded and run a software company before).

Your best bet is to not re-invent the wheel. There are already devices on the market that may be close to what you need; eg. "disposable" digital cameras and digital video recorders.
