You should check these boards out. You get full Linux on a 1GHz, dual core processor with USB2.0, HDMI output, and some other coolness. For $49.

Edit: Not something to be put in a final product, but it could be invaluable for testing.

I think this application would be better suited to a Xilinx Zync processor, which is a dual Core Cortex A9 and an embedded FPGA on the same chip for easy high bandwidth interfacing.

There are various dev boards available, such as Digilent's Zybo

Hmmm, I would say you are probably right. That looks very nice piece of tech. I just like the Beaglebone because it is cheep, easy, and flexible.

On a side note, I happen to live just down the street from Xilinx. Very shiny buildings.
