I want to record video of at least 1.0MP to SSD (or other memory) for=20
about 3-5 minutes.  15FPS is fine.  But I really want to avoid SBCs=20
because of the OS (and more specifically the boot time), so wondering=20
what it would take to do this with a microcontroller.
I'm looking at camera modules similar to this...

ngle-Lens-Camera-PAL-NTSC-image/32570417705.html

I believe (haven't yet found a clear answer) that these cameras do 24=20
bpp (Is this correct?), and if so I'd need 1 MP x 3 bytes x 60 secs x 5=20
mins =3D 900 MB to store raw data.
That's no prob with an SD card, but I expect bandwidth will be an issue,=20
so I'd need to compress it.  This is where I draw a blank... what does=20
it take to compress video?

I'm clueless on video, so wondering if a microcontroller (say PIC32 or=20
ARM) would be able to accept TTL NTSC video at this rate and compress=20
it, and then store it.  Or is there a specialized processor I can use to=20
accept the NTSC video stream and store it to SD?
Should I use some other protocol other than NTSC for this perhaps?

Cheers,
-Neil.
