My experiments and search through BSP code showed that TVE seems to have
additional fixed predivider 8. So if you want to generate 27 MHz clock, unit
has to be feed with 216 MHz.

TVE has only one PLL source PLL_DE. And since 216 MHz is a bit low for DE2,
BSP defaults to 432 MHz for PLL_DE and use divider 2 to generate 216 MHz. This
clock is then divided by 8 internaly to get final 27 MHz.

Please note that I don't have any hard evidence to support that, only
experimental data. However, only that explanation make sense to me.

BTW, BSP H3/H5 TV driver supports only PAL and NTSC which both use 27 MHz base
clock. Further experiments are needed to check if there is any possibility to
have other resolutions by manipulating clocks and give other proper settings.
I plan to do that, but not in very near future.

Best regards,
Jernej
