    摘要: A color correction system that implements scene-by-scene color manipulation in the primary color domain to color correction regions of a video image isolated in the hue domain using hue, saturation, and luminance qualification. The system may be configured as a number of color correction blocks arranged in series or parallel. Each correction block typically allows a colorist to define up to sixteen non-overlapping hue sectors with associated corrected color values and qualification curves. Each color correction block has two video inputs, a first connected to the output from the previous block, and a second connected to an unprocessed video signal. Each block includes a video multiplexer that operates as a switch allowing the colorist to select either the output of a previous block or the unprocessed video input signal as the input for a given block. Delay buffers are positioned in the unprocessed video signal between each color correction block to synchronize the unprocessed video signal with the output video signal from the preceding color correction block. Thus, the color correction blocks may be applied separately (i.e., in parallel) or in tandem (i.e., in series) for each scene processed. In addition, a particular colorist may select the number of blocks in the system in accordance with that colorist's needs.

    摘要: A control point based real time primary custom gamma curve generator for color correction equipment. A separate custom gamma curve generator circuit is provided for each of the RBG and luminance channels. A plurality of control points is provided and stored in a lookup table (LUT) stored in a random access memory (RAM). The control points are set and/or adjusted by the operator or loaded from a prestored set (e.g. a default custom gamma curve). The instantaneous input signal is divided into two portions—a control point address portion comprising the most significant bits (MSBs) of the input signal, and an interpolation address portion comprising the least significant bits (LSBs) of the input signal. The MSBs are used to select a particular control point value stored in RAM. The LSBs are used for interpolation of values with a smooth curve between control points. Also described are various user interfaces for the custom gamma curve generator.

    摘要: In a digital video effects system a data store (13) is provided for storing the address within a frame store of image information from the corresponding image frame that is to appear within another image frame as transposed on to a curved surface. The addresses are stored in "curved" order so that when the store (13) is addressed via inputs (24) providing the coordinates of the scanning point of the television raster, the store (13) provides, at an output (25) that address within the frame store which contains the image information to be represented at the corresponding point in the final image. Such storage of the address values in "curved" order is achieved by applying at data inputs of the store a linear sequence of the coordinate addresses of the image frame store whilst providing at write addresses (11, 12) of the store data (13) corresponding values of the coordinates that have been transformed to define the curved surface to appear in the final image.

    摘要: A storage and interpolation device for digital television pictures having a memory organized in `tiles` of memory elements (2). Sub-assemblies of tiles (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) all have the same coordinate address in one coordinate direction and have outputs coupled to an interpolation filter (6) operative in that direction. Individual tiles (2A; 2B; 2C; 2D) of respective sub-assemblies (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D) all have the same coordinate address in the other coordinate direction and the outputs of the filters (6) of the sub-assemblies are connected to inputs of a further filter (9) operative in the other coordinate direction. By allocating pixel values of discrete image areas of the picture to respective sub-assemblies (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D) in the horizontal direction and to groups of tiles (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) in the vertical direction, interpolation can be effected by addressing all tiles simultaneously to produce a corresponding output from the filter 9.

    摘要: A solar energy collection system can include a drive configured to adjust a tilt position of a solar collector assembly so as to tract the sun. The drive can include hardware for providing feedback control of the orientation of the solar collector assembly. A method for calibrating the drive can include moving the drive to a reference position and saving an output value from a sensor configured to detect the orientation of the drive. The reference value output from the sensor can then be used in determining the target output value from the sensor required to achieve a desired orientation.

    摘要: In the processing of digital video signals there is provided in association with each signal an accompanying tally signal which provides an instantaneous identification of one or more signal sources from which the information contained in each pixel of a picture image has originated. The format of the tally signal may enable processing thereof to identify all signal sources contributing to a particular image area, to pixels of a mixed image or to any given field or frame of a video image signal. The signal may be encoded in the format of the digital chrominance signal component of a color picture signal and combined with a conventional key signal which is encoded in the format of a digital luminance signal so that the combined signal has the format of a color picture signal.

    摘要: A control signal synchronized to a digital video signal to be processed and defining the position of a rectilinear line (51,52,53,54) relatively to the image frame (50) is generated by providing an initial value corresponding to the perpendicular distance of the origin (0) of the scanning point of the video raster from the line (51,52,53,54) and incrementing or decrementing this value during movement of the scanning point in accordance with the rates of change of this distance in the horizontal and vertical directions. By logically combining the signals corresponding to a plurality of lines (52,52,53,54) a further signal is obtained which is "true" when the scanning point is within a geometric figure defined by the lines. This signal can provide a "key" signal controlling the display within the figure of image information to be combined with the video signal. Signals relating to four lines (52,52,53,54) forming a quadrilateral can provide coordinate signals for interrogation of a frame store containing image information to be transposed into the area defined by the quadrilateral figure.
