I want to send a video stream to a microcontroller via wifi. what microcontroller choose for this task? -Must take into account that the video will be transmitted through a phone -The video will be in different format and larger format will be HD (1920 * 1080) -The video is intended to be displayed on a TV screen -The video will be played at the same time it is to be sent to crotch... I work on a project to read streaming a video that is in the phone by a plasma tv... I had my start and I still looking for landmarks

    \$\begingroup\$ 1920x1080x24bit @ 60FPS has a raw bit rate of 3Gbps. How on earth do you expect a tiny microcontroller to receive that much data and send it out to a PC? This question has been asked many times before with the same answer, no you can't. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 19, 2016 at 16:29

  • \$\begingroup\$ Chances are you want at least a small system-on-module or embedded board with megabytes of SDRAM, either to buffer and pass on a compressed stream, or else to decompress and render it and drive an HDMI, RGB, or whatever interface. Look at the parts usually used in set-top-box applications, or those found in android tablets with video out. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 19, 2016 at 16:30

Microcontrollers, are designed for simple tasks, they can not do any thing any where near video, what you need is a microprocessor, that is capable of processing video.
