Picture Quality Adjust Process Function
Picture Quality Adjustments such as contrast, brightness, color saturation and color hue are integrated in the
AK8856.
(1) Contrast
Contrast is adjusted by multiplying the Luminance signal (Y) by a gain value which is set by
Contrast Control Register ( R/W ) [ Sub Address 0x06].
CNTSEL bit = 0
YOUT = CONT* (YIN – 128) + 125
YOUT : contrast arithmetic operation result
YIN : before contrast arithmetic operation
CONT : contrast coefficient (register value)
It is also possible to define the equation by setting the register:
CNTSEL bit = 1
YOUT = CONT* (YIN – 128) + 16
YOUT : contrast arithmetic operation result
YIN : before contrast arithmetic operation
CONT : contrast coefficient (register set value)
Setting is done with the [CNTSEL] bit of Control 2 Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x04]
The range of the contrast gain coefficient varies from 0 to 1.99 (1/128 step), and when the arithmetic operation
result exceeds this range, it is clipped to the upper-limit of 254, or the lower-limit of 1 (the output result
ranges from 16 to 235 when the 601 limit-bit is 1).
