Publication number: 20110316848Abstract: A system of controlling displaying of image data has a source device (10), for example a BD player, which processes source image data for outputting the image data in dependence of first display parameters, and has a user control (15) for controlling the display parameters. The image data is transferred from the source device to a display device (13), which displays the image data in dependence of further display parameters, and has a further user control (16) for setting the further display parameters. The source device provides a display control mask structure, which is transferred with the image data to the display device. The display device displays the image data in dependence of the display control mask structure by masking said setting of the further display parameters according to the display control mask structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2009Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Philip S.
