Hello,
I'm using a 1024x600 LCD panel with RGB output from CVBS input using a TW8819. The live camera view works partially, but I'm experiencing strange image issues:
When the system boots up, the screen acts as if it's holding an old image, an
Actually, there is an old image under the image from the camera, but it is not visible in the picture.After working for a while, the screen turns black as shown in the second image and green pixels start to appear.
