  • Apparatus and method for calibrating audio-visual signal
    Patent number: 8525937
    Abstract: An apparatus for calibrating an audio-visual (AV) signal includes a controller for generating a control signal, a controllable filter for selectively filtering the AV signal in response to the control signal to output either the AV signal or a filtered AV signal; and a calibrator for generating a group of calibrating coefficients according to the filtered AV signal and calibrating the AV signal according to the group of calibrating coefficients.
    Type: Grant

  • Analog TV signal receiving circuit for reducing signal distortion using equalizer configuring method
    Patent number: 8525932
    Abstract: An analog television (TV) signal receiving circuit and method and an associated equalizer coefficient configuration apparatus and method are disclosed for correcting a distortion problem occurred in a reception process of an analog TV signal by configuring an equalizer in the analog TV signal receiving circuit. The analog TV signal receiving TV includes a tuner, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a demodulator. The tuner receives an analog radio-frequency (RF) TV signal to generate an analog frequency down conversion signal. The ADC generates a digital frequency down conversion signal according to the analog frequency down conversion signal. The demodulator includes a front-end circuit for generating a digital demodulated signal according to the digital frequency down conversion signal, and an equalizer for generating a digital receiving signal according to the digital demodulated signal. The equalizer includes a plurality of correction coefficients that are generated according to a predetermined rule.
