Why not use a standard processor with camera interface?

I don't know of any processors with a camera interface unless you mean types
like the TI OMAP. This has to be a mass market cheap solution like the
Omnivision stuff. It's just that we need to interface with 10's of thousands
existing analog cameras...

Many I have seen assume a digital camera or digital datastream in VGA 'steps'
of resolution, and non-interlaced format.

With most you would need to convert from analog to 602 or 656 format and
for CCIR/PAL set timing for non-standard 800 x 600 with borders. That is
if they support the interlaced format.

Some fall down on continuous video as they are meant for webcams compressing
at best 10 frames per second.
