Not Getting the expected bar pattern output on pixel format

Thread Summary

The user encountered issues with the AD7181D ADC not distinguishing all colors from a DAC ADV7123 color bar pattern. The solution involved cross-checking the configuration against the reference settings in the ADV7181D Evaluation Software. Additionally, the user needed to disable free run and tri-state the output port when TMDS frequency detect is lost to prevent junk pixel data and sync generation. For a moving bar pattern issue, the user was advised to monitor and adjust the START_HS, END_HS, START_VS, END_VS, START_FE, START_FO, PIN_IN_HS, PIN_INV_VS, and PIN_INV_F registers, as well as the IN_LOCK and FSC_LOCK bits.

Hi 

I am working with AD7181D device where we are feeding the output of DAC ADV7123 as an input to ADC AD7181D. We are sending the 8 colour par pattern as an input to DAC 


this colour bar pattern is feed to the ADC input and is digitised as per stanag B specification and the pixel format output is being checked on an LVDS display, but at the display we are not able to get all the colours that we are sending, ADC chip is not able to distinguish some colours. I have attached the picture of what we are getting on the screen 


I think we are missing somethink on the configuration of the ADC. So can you please help us to debug the issue. I am attaching the configuration we are doing in the ADC
