I am building a multi camera system using a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. I am planning on connecting 2 HQ camera’s to the CM5.
The goal is recording a football game (about 1 hour) with both camera’s simultanuously. Because the field is too wide to capture with 1 camera, I will use 2. During post processing (not on the PI, I will do that in the cloud) I will stitch the footages together to het a recording of the complete football field.
What I need from the HQ camera’s is 1080p50 and I have some questions.
-
Can the CM5 handle 2 camera’s to record 1080p50 at the same time.
-
Does the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera lose field of view when recording at 1080p50? I’ve read that it uses 2x2 binning—does this maintain full sensor FOV or is there any cropping?
-
I am actually going to need 3 camera’s to capture the entire football field, I will use 2 CM5’s to do so. My thinking is that if I get a single CM5 to work with 2 camera’s, adding another subsystem with 1 camera and 1 CM5 won’t be much of a problem. Maybe I am missing something here?
-
Is there anything I am missing in the overall design of this system? Or any recommendations/improvements on the hardware? There is of course some more hardware involved like a custom carrier board, power supply etc.
If I have not provided enough information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
