I doubt RGBtoHDMI has the horsepower to do my rotation transform in real time. Started looking at this one:


Moved on to FPGA for speed and flexibility for future development.

21:45 "It's literally outputting scanlines less wide than they are tall."

That means there's no rotation.

Do you know that the image isn't rotated in software?
I suppose one could take a video of the display to see if the raster is horizontal or not.

It must be horizontal according to the timing info posted at

57.283 MHz = 17.4571862 ns
68.85 kHz = 14524.3282 ns
75 Hz = 13333333.3 ns
width = 14524.3282 / 17.4571862 = 832 pixels. (less than the active vertical height of 864 lines so this must be horizontal)
height = 13333333.3 / 14524.3282 = 918 lines.

The image scans as I've illustrated it.

from start, scans across 640 pixels, doubles back, drops one row . . . repeats 800+ times.

RGBtoHDMI centers the output mid-screen just as does my Extron Scaler. Neither setup supports rotation to get practical use of FPD 640x800+ output.
