Hi everyone:

I need to build an embedded platform that can handle 2 webcams, preferably at 640x480. I've tested several typical embedded boards, with 200 MHz arm or mips CPUs, and they can handle 1 webcam at 480x320.

Googling on webcams indicates that each webcam would have to have its own USB controller as well as enough CPU horsepower to do the job (maybe something in the 800 MHz range?)

Is anyone aware of an inexpensive fanless board that could do this? Or could provide some pointers on where I can look?

Thanks,

--Yan

iEi World PM-LX-800 is a good AMD-LX800 based PC/104-form-factor CPU board:
500MHz, around ~$200.00 cost + PC2700 So-DIMM. Check out at:

If you need industrial grade video/frame grabbers, check:
