probably an EEPROM but why ? NTSC/PAL selection would surely be just taking
some pin high or low on the 48 pinner. Contrast and brightness carried i2c
to the front end? will check later today



That PDF is for a USB camera which would need VID and PID info from
somewhere, hence the EEPROM. Your one's VIMICRO VC0703 chip is
configurable for a lot more than just PAL/NTSC. I would expect the OSD
feature alone to need an EEPROM to store the text and the rest of the
config might as well be kept in the same chip.
