VPBE output on evmdm365

Expert 2315 points

After my evaluation board boots up and load the kernel, there are a couple of lines on the top of the display with the rest blank as expected.  What causes those lines and can I do anything about them.  When I run the encodedecode demo those lines are still there and I can only access the video lines just after those.  I need to start writing data to line 24 on field one (I am using PAL-I) and the last line is on line 25.  If I can not access it, how can I at least get it to display data captured from the composite input?

Thanks. Jinh T.

  •  This is likely the closed caption data you are seeing.

    These lines are not usually visible on most TVs.

  • My application requires that I insert 576 bits on a frame as data on the left edge.  Reader software decodes the data and people does not see it as it is also hidden behind the plastics on a tv.

    Here is a captured frame from my app with input from a video pattern generator and some watermark stuff put in by the framegrabber together with my frame counter.
