Abstract: Provided is an apparatus that includes an image projection section that performs an image projection process based on a PWM method, an output image control section that sets a portion of a single-frame output period of a view-use image as a period in which to output a pattern image to be used for calculating an image correction parameter, a correction parameter calculation section that calculates the image correction parameter with use of the pattern image captured by a camera in the pattern image output period, and an image correction section that performs a correction process on the view-use image with use of the image correction parameter. The output image control section controls the pattern image output period in such a manner that pixel values of the pattern image fall within a range from a minimum pixel value to less than a minimum significant pixel value of the view-use image.

Abstract: A setting information database associates setting information used to output a video signal or an audio signal with a corresponding viewing condition. A setting information registration unit registers setting information and a corresponding viewing condition which have been received by a setting information reception unit so as to store them in the setting information database. An adequacy determination unit determines the adequacy of recommended setting information to be stored in the setting information database. A condition extraction unit extracts pieces of setting information stored in the setting information database on the basis of a viewing condition supplied from an extraction condition reception unit. A recommendable setting derivation unit derives recommendable setting information from the extracted pieces of setting information.
