Hello akhilpauly,

What version of PowerVision Configuration Studio are you using?

The latest 2.8 patch may be downloaded from here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1321

Are you certain you have set the video widget in the page designer to use PAL and not NTSC? Do you have any events/actions that will switch the video to the wrong format?

This topic is in the wrong forum, so I will need to move it to the PowerVision forum. This forum is for CANCapture questions.

Did you change the Screen.VideoMode variable to be PAL?
