A design method for high-resolution and high-speed digital video camera, which supported 2.0Mega Pixels and 15 frames per second, was presented. How to solve some problems of key technology on the video camera was introduced. ICX274 was used as CCD sensor, AD9923A was used as the analog front end and other chips included XC3S1200E and TE3310RPF. The AD9923A converted CCD analog signal to digital signal. The digital signal was sent to XC3S1200E which converted Bayer signals to YUV signals. The YUV signals were inputted to TE3310RPF to generate JPEG data. AT91RM9200 sent the JPEG data to network. Many key technologies which included CCD timing control, Bayer signal to YUV signal conversion, TE3310RPF control, and data transmission in network were involved in this video camera design. How to solve these problems were also introduced. The testing results show that the design method can collect, compress and transmit 15 frame 2.0Mega pixels image per second.
