AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF COLOR BALANCE AND OTHER DISPLAY PARAMETERS IN DIGITAL DISPLAYS

Image data resulting from a digitizing process, for display of an image on a digital display device, is monitored by selectively storing the data in diagnostic registers. This data is analyzed, and used to track the performance of the digitizer on the basis of various operating parameters such as inter-channel balance, intra-channel balance, contrast, brightness, white point, image centering and data clock. A communication channel from the image source provides information regarding the content of the image data being monitored. Based upon the indicated content provided by the image source, the system automatically compensates for any detected error, to thereby maintain optimum performance.
