Summary
This application note provides methods that can be used
for video playback and video streaming applications using
a PIC32 device and hardware solutions available from
Microchip. These techniques can be used in applications
such as distance education or surveillance cameras, as
well as news and entertainment videos for display on the
Internet. In addition, video playback from a Secure Digital
card can find uses in situations where data needs to be
stored for future review, such as video from surveillance
cameras or educational lectures.
