dm8168 vin camera port

Vin port means HDVPSS VIP capture port and camera port means ISS camera capture port. Following is difference between both.

 

HDVPSS (Vin) which has 2 ports and can accept up to 24 bit parallel in RGB or YUV formats in various formats (656/1120, discrete syncs etc...) These ports can be further split and multiplexed in order to capture image data from up to 16 ITU656 streams.

 

ISS (camera port), which can accept up to 16 bit raw and/or YCbCr 8/16 bit or ITU656/1120. This input can be processed through the VICP which can do things like Bayer pattern interpolation, bad pixel correction etc...
