7-4-8 BLACK & WHITE MODE
Black & White mode outputs all input signals as luminance (Y) only. In this mode, the C-signal output becomes 0 level
(output code 0x80) and Y/C Separation function is turned off ( Black & White mode ).
If Y/C and Component signals are input, the Chroma signal to be output is fixed to 0x80. The Black & White mode is user
programmable and it is turned on and off by the [ INPUT VIDEO STANDARD REGISTER ].

7-4-9 PICTURE ADJUSTING FUNCTION
The AK8850 has Picture Quality Adjusting functions which include Contrast, Brightness, Color Saturation and HUE
adjustments.
( 1 ) CONTRAST
The Contrast adjustment is made by multiplying the Luminance signal ( Y ) by the gain factor which is set by the
[ CONTRAST CONTROL REGISTER ].
The Contrast adjustment is made within the range of 0 ~ 2 ( 1/ 255 step ).
These arithmetic operations areperformed on 10-bit data. When the result exceeds the specified range,it is clipped to 1023
( upper limit ) or to 0 ( lower limit ).
