TMS320DM8168: Display on DVO2, results in capture fps increase and framedrop

Part Number: TMS320DM8168
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVP7002

Hi,

I am capturing video on HDMI input(sii1161A) and VGA input(TVP7002) on TI8168 EVM. I am selecting single input at a time.

My usecase is Capture->Dup->Display (HDMI/DVO2)
                                               |
                                               -> DEI(VIP_SC)-> ENC -> A8


While selecting display to DVO2 and capture from VGA, capture FPS increased(almost double) and capture frames are also dropped.

I tested below 4 cases.

case 4 is showing flickering video and freezing frames. FPS = 125, frames dropped = 27925.

I want to capture VGA input to DVO2 output.
