Power Of The Prop

Is the Prop powerful enough to both pull in and display live video? In other words, I want to pull live video from an RCA connection in and broadcast it out through either the VGA port or RCA port on a Prop Demo Board. I am thinking no but if it is possible I hope to find out.

    No (assuming you want the Propeller to both capture the video and generate an identical (or modified) signal).

    If you take a look at the machine vision section of my index (I think it's post #4) you'll see the Propeller is capable of some image capture from NTSC signals.

    It is possible to do video overlay. The Propeller Backpack has circuits to do overlay.

    You need to tell us more about your project. For example, what do you want to happen to the video on its way through the Prop? From what you've described so far, a simple wire from input to output would do the job.
