DM8168 Digital Timing Generator

Hello,

It appears that the DM8168 Display Timing Generator does not produce proper interlaced video timing for 1920x1080i, output from DVO2 VOUT0. In reference to the CEA-861D Specification, Figure 3 Timing Parameters for 1920x1080i @ 59.94/60 on page 20, in Field 2, cannot adjust the rising edge of Vertical Sync pulse by two and one half lines with respect to the falling edge of the Data Enable pulse. The DM8168 Display Timing Generator half line adjustment does not work even though HF_LINE is set in register HD_VENC_cfg0 bit 28.

Here is a dump of HD_VENC Registers for the DTG configured for 1080i:

Is it possible to tweak the DTG to make it comply with CEA-861 1920x1080i (Format 5) standard?
