Abstract
A system and method for determining the characteristics of a device coupled to a client device are disclosed. A method, according to one embodiment, includes driving a display device with a first video output signal formatted according to a first video interface specification; responsive to driving the display device, soliciting user input based on information included in the first video output signal; determining a characteristic of the display device based on the user input; and driving the display device according to the determined characteristic.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- processing logic of a client device configured to effect the presentation of objects on a display screen of a display device coupled to the client device that are altered by one or more pipelines, the processing logic of the client device configured to solicit a response by a user, the processing logic of the client device further configured to, responsive to the response from the user, determine de-interlacing capabilities of the display device coupled to the client device, the processing logic of the client device further configured to determine de-interlacing capabilities of the client device and then determine if the de-interlacing capabilities of the client device should be bypassed in favor of the de-interlacing capabilities of the display device.
A method, comprising:
- altering one or more objects corresponding to one or more pictures;
- de-interlacing by a client device one or more fields corresponding to the altered one or more objects;
- outputting the altered objects and the de-interlaced altered objects on a display screen of a display device coupled to the client device;
- soliciting user input to determine a quality of one or more rendered displays on the display screen, the one or more rendered displays based on the outputted altered objects that are de-interlaced at the display device and the de-interlaced altered objects provided by the client device;
- determining via the client device de-interlacing capabilities of the display device coupled to the client device and de-interlacing capabilities of the client device;
- and
- determining if the de-interlacing capabilities of the client device should be bypassed in favor of the de-interlacing capabilities of the display device.
