same for the 6441/6446, the limiting factor is DDR bandwidth, not CPU/DSP/DMA
speed.
I tried to capture two sync locked 8-bit BT.656
streams side-by-side as 16-bit input and use DMA to separate them for
display. It worked, but there was not enough DDR memory bandwidth to do
this and output the image with an OSD enabled - VPBE was starved of data
and lots of tearing / visual artifacts appeared.
Not sure if you will have the same issues but it's something you might
want to be aware of.

I am working on a similar system. I just got the DM6446EVM today so
I am just getting started. I was thinking because the front end
video port can be 1280 pixels per horizontal line then 2 channels
(minus a little bit on the edges) can fit side by side to process 2
channels. If you include the interlace artifact remover then we
could actually fit 4 channels. The TVP5154 could be used as the
decoder to a FPGA then to the DM6446.
Please if anyone has done this or similar please let me know if
there is enough resources to do this.
Thank you,
Panchy
