Hi,
We have a requirement of making Ethernet video in mp4 or 3gpp format to be compatible to be displayed on a tv with input of NTSC or PAL. What kind of Ethernet controller is needed to handle the video streaming which can have a I2C serial communication with a micro controller? Does it require a stack? or can it be used directly? Can Audrino Ethernet shield be used with a video decoder or encoder for the process?
Roku box.
Any retailer.
Raspberry Pi
Can u give some examples of video streaming using rasberry pi?
We need a device without much of specific os running it?
can i go with some of the arm processors seperately?
What could be the other ics needed for supporting it? i thought of a Controller and a video encoder?
You could go with a processor and video chip but then you would need to know how there are connected, then design a PCB then write all the code. If you can do all that then go for it.
The R-Pi runs Linux and there are examples of doing this. Check the R-Pi tutorials on Adafruit’s web site for starting.
There is the XBMC code for the R-Pi also. Maybe this would work.
Did you check into the Roku box? A possible cheap off the shelf solution.

Have you discussed here what device is producing the video stream and in what format?

i did check roku box, only roku 3 is with ethernet but it doesn’t support all tvs which run on ntsc or pal.
Hmm, my brother in law has a Roku with both ethernet and WiFi, and analog NTSC out, connected to his old, old TV.
There are many generations of Roky boxes. An NTSC/PAL box might be uncommon and on eBay, in this HDTV era.
There are many Roku-alikes.
