I am looking for an inexpensive SOC that I could program to read video files from an SD card and play them to a screen and audio output of some kind. The videos are 480p and can be encoded in whatever format that the IC prefers. For output I am feeding the image directly to a 480P LVDS screen, so if it can do that directly, that would be perfect.
I am optimizing for cost and boot time. This would be a chip that might be used in video capable digital photo frames, or maybe kiosk displays. I am shooting for something under $10 per IC. Any more expensive then that and Pi Zero starts to look appealing, but for boot time I wanted to find something more purpose built. Spent the day rummaging on Digikey with no luck.
