4.1 TWO DMA PORTS
CAMIF has two DMA port. P-port(Preview port) and C-port(Codec port) are separated from each other on AHB
bus. At the view of system bus, two ports are independent. The P-port stores the RGB image data into memory
for preview. The C-port stores the YCbCr 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 image data or RGB image data into memory for Codec as
MPEG-4, H.263, etc. These two master ports support the variable applications like DSC (Digital Still Camera),
MPEG-4 video conference, video recording, etc. For example, P-port image can be used as preview image, and
C-port image can be used as JPEG image in DSC application. Also, the register setting can separately disable P-
port or C-port.
