CVBS output PAL format is cropped

[flto]

Hi,

I try to output video on a CVBS display (from iMX53 with linux-2.6-imx-rel_imx_2.6.35_11.09.01 kernel from Freescale).

The display accepts PAL video format, so I use this kernel command line arguments :

video=mxcdi1fb:TV-PAL tve ldb=off

Thus my /dev/fb0 is displayed on the screen... but not entirely !

The image is cropped by about 30 pixels (left and right) and 15 pixels (top & bottom) [This is a rough estimation]

With an old TV, the image is cropped almost the same (but not exactly) and not cropped top and bottom when in 16:9 mode.

Does anyone know about CVBS, and has an idea why this happens ?

Here is fbset output:

$ fbset

mode "720x576-25"

        # D: 13.500 MHz, H: 15.625 kHz, V: 25.000 Hz

        geometry 720 576 720 1728 32

        timings 74074 132 11 22 26 1 1

        accel false

        rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24

endmode

So, I have resolved it in such way:

I fill only 656x544 at the center of the 720x576 screen. And leave black fields.

BTW: I have found that: different devices show different region of the image. For example PC-capture-card shows almost whole 720x576 image.

Hi @flto Have you resolved the issue?

I have stumbled to the same problem and don't know how to solve it.

Can you share with your way to solve?

Can you please share what pins, or configuration you are using for the CVBS output,? are you using the TV Encoder output?

I have the same problem. ADV7391.

BT656-PAL configuration. But I see the cropped video even when I switch on COLOR-BAR-PATTERN
