Abstract
Methods and systems are described for processing picture modes of a sink device, such as a monitor, using a source device, such as a personal computer or a gaming system. Given picture mode parameters related to picture-mode processing in an EDID of the sink device, such as brightness, saturation, and the white point, picture-mode-related processing for a sink device may be performed by the source device, thus enabling new display-related features without increasing the cost of the sink device.
Claims9
A method for displaying images on a sink device using a source device, the method comprising:
- in a source device:
- accessing extended display identification data (EDID) information from a sink device, wherein the EDID information includes picture mode parameters to adjust pixel processing in the source device according to a selected picture mode;
- accessing an input picture;
- and
- applying the picture mode parameters to adjust pixel processing parameters in the EDID to generate an output picture to be displayed on the sink device based on the input picture and the selected picture mode.
