This is a symptom of an incorrect standard setting (PAL vs NTSC)

When you installed the system, did it prompt you for the capture
standard?  Which did you choose?

So the card works correctly on bootup?  There is a file at (by default)
/opt/matterhorn/capture-agent/device_config.sh which controls what the
camera is set to.  If this file is blank then Matterhorn will not change
any v4l settings.
