So... do I understand it correctly that with the current hw/sw stack, my 
original requirements can not be satisfied?

In that case, let's try with reduced requirements. What if I give up HD 
resolution and H264?

Is there a camera that can provide a HW-compressed 480p video stream, in 
MPEG-2 or something like that?

Thank you:
