Well, for the ether-video project you would choose a better chip from
their DaVinci range, not this small/slow one.
Price is a very important consideration here. This one will do what is
needed: display MPEG-4 movies and broadcast HDTV.
The others do 1080p. Why you asked about the lowest from the range?
The TMS320DM6467CZUT7 1K @ $83.55 (vs $23.90) might be nicer but it is
really too expensive.
And anyway whats the VGA for?
If it is the a PC system's only video board, it must do VGA.
Those chips does not need any VGA stuff there, they are SoC.
Yes, but a video board is a slave system, it must do what the main
system requires.
Everything from ethernet do HDMI. You just add flash, dram and the
software.
But you are going to connect it to a PC with Ethernet and that is where
all of the content is going to come from.
NOTE that there might be another solution, but direct access to VGA
hardware is going to require a special Ethernet card. Otherwise, you
just need a place to put the BIOS PROM -- some Ethernet cards have sockets.
