An exemplary embodiment comprises determining brightness level of a brightest object of a video frame, determining a required illumination for the video frame based on the pixel brightness level of the brightest object, obtaining a gamma-corrected pixel adjustment value, applying the gamma-corrected pixel adjustment value to a color value of an input pixel of the video frame to obtain a gamma-corrected pixel value, and displaying the gamma-corrected pixel value.

Abstract: Present embodiments are directed to a system and method for correcting video image distortion in a video system. An exemplary embodiment includes steps or features for retrieving baseline measurements for set portions of a display area, wherein the baseline measurements take into account distortions detected in the video system. Further, the exemplary embodiment includes determining stretch coefficients for the set portions of the display area, retrieving an image corresponding to the display area, and correcting positioning of a plurality of pixels of the image based on the baseline measurements and the stretch coefficients.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for correcting a video image. In an exemplary embodiment, an image processing unit (21) comprises an image offset generator (56) configured to calculate a baseline measurement for a first display location of a plurality of display locations, a stretch coefficient generator (58) configured to calculate a stretch coefficient relative to a neighboring display location for a remainder of the plurality of display locations, and an image correction processor (59) configured to correct a default display location of each of the plurality of display locations using the baseline measurement for the first display location and the stretch coefficient for the remainder of the plurality of display locations.

Abstract: A television having both a simplified remote control and a full-sized remote control may be designed to allow the user a selection of a simplified user interface or a full user interface, respectively. The television may be manufactured as a single model, thereby obviating the need for multiple television models to cater both to those who desire full control of the television features and to those who desire only basic control of the television features.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for reducing distortion in images provided by display systems employing Spatial Light Modulating elements is provided. A method comprises steps of providing a set of pixel values corresponding to pixels of an image to be displayed. The number of pixel values comprising the set is greater than the number of available SLM elements. At least some of the pixel values are adjusted to provide a set of adjusted pixel values. At least a first set of pixels and a second set of pixels are generated from the set of adjusted pixel values. The image is displaying as a matrix of pixels comprising the first set of pixels and the second set of pixels. At least one of the pixels of the first set overlaps at least one of the pixels of the second set and the adjusting step is carried out by adjusting pixel values of the pixel data set to compensate for image distortion due to overlapping pixels of the matrix.

Abstract: A video apparatus such as a television signal receiver enables a video display that readily indicates the detected degree of a video attribute such as motion and/or other video attribute present in the video display. According to an exemplary embodiment, the video apparatus includes first circuitry operative to receive video data. Second circuitry is operative to enable a video display corresponding to the video data. The video display includes first and second video attributes.

Abstract: An apparatus such as a television signal receiver is capable of canceling non-linear distortion, such as second harmonic distortion in a picture carrier, when performing digital signal processing. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a digital signal source for providing a digital signal and a digital signal processor for digitally processing the digital signal to generate a digitally processed signal.

Abstract: A first-order crossover network having low-pass and high-pass filters to respectively drive first and second loudspeakers in a loudspeaker system is designed such that the phase difference at a crossover frequency between output signals of the first and second loudspeakers is no greater than 60 degrees, so that the output signals are at least partially in phase. Preferably, the phase difference should be about 40 degrees to create a near in-phase effect. The polarity in which the first loudspeaker is coupled to the first-order crossover network is an inverse of the polarity in which the second loudspeaker is coupled to the crossover network. Optionally, the input signals can be equalized to flatten the magnitude responses of the crossover network.
