Shouldn't this be 50 Hz vs 60 Hz formats? There are 60 Hz PAL standards
and usually these devices detect 50 Hz vs 60 Hz, not NTSC vs PAL.
In the reference manual it is not mentioned about 50/60Hz input format selection/detection but it mentioned just PAL/NTSC. The 50hz formats can be ether PAL and NTSC formats variants. The same is applied to 60Hz.

In the ML86V7667 datasheet the description for STATUS register detection bit is just PAL/NTSC:
" $2C/STATUS [2] NTSC/PAL identification 0: NTSC /1: PAL "

If you assure me that I must judge their description as 50 vs 60Hz formats and not PAL/NTSC then I will make the change.

I can't judge that. Are there no status bits anywhere that tell you something
about the number of lines per frame or the framerate?
You are right. I've found a relationship table with description of number of total H/V pixels vs Video Modes mentioned in datasheet. It's "NTSC" has Odd/263 and Even/262 vertical lines. The "PAL" has Odd/312 and Even/313.
So I will change the standard per your suggestion.
Are you able to test with a PAL-M or PAL-N(c) input?
Unfortunately I cannot. I have a couple of different cameras and all of them mention PAL output with number of lines in the technical manual. All of them are 625 lines.
Can you ask the manufacturer for more information?
It can take a while for waiting their feedback since OKI was significantly reorganized.

Than you very much for your valuable feedback/review.

Regards,
Vladimir
