Video capture frame doesn’t work either. When starting with sync select in video input, output select in overlay and pot all the way counterclockwise there are several lines across the screen. Switching output select to sync only kills all video.

I did reseat the chip. Will try videocapture tonight

The setup is correct, vcr->ve input, ve output->tv. R4 is counterclockwise and I tried a fresh download of the sketch.

Well no luck still. Tried a different tv also. Here is a link to the video, sorry its sideways but you can see whats going on.

PAL overlay demo does the same thing, gotta be the camera right? I will find a VCR and tape. Will get back to you when that is accomplished.

Yes a video camera that I found from an unlabeled toy in a thrift store. The only identification on the camera is the RD-1049(sensor) ver:A on the top. I couldn’t find any data on google for this. Could the camera display fine when plugged into the tv but have synchronization problems with the ve shield? I don’t have any other input source at all, no vcr or even television signals.

If you think it’s the camera problem do you have any suggestions or links for inexpensive cameras? Thanks again.

I’m in USA with an NTSC TV, Arduino Duemilanove and checked the assembly again. Got the DemoNTSC working now, I didn’t know I needed to jumper to D9 for that sketch.

What positions do I need to put the switch and jumper for the Overlay Demo to work? I’ve been using Sync Select and Overlay.

A picture is attached, my phone camera isn’t the best but you can see one of the lines toward the top of the image.

Thanks for the help, I’m really excited to get this working!
