Abstract:
An imaging system for interactively adjusting image quality parameters associated with an image transmission, said imaging system comprising:a sending device for receiving a plurality of images from said image transmission and for transmitting said plurality of images; a receiver device, connected to said sending device, for receiving said plurality of images transmitted from said sending device, said plurality of images being transmitted from said sending device to said receiver device along a forward channel, said plurality of images transmitted to said receiver device including a plurality of said image quality parameters associated with said plurality of images; and an interface, connected to said receiver device, for receiving a non-normative command to modify at least one of said plurality of image quality parameters, said non-normative command being forwarded by said interface to said sending device along a backchannel thereto, whereby a viewer of a display device, connected to said receiver device, interactively adjusts said at least one image quality parameter of subsequent images via said non-normative command input to said interface, wherein a measurement parameter is associated with said non-normative command for defining a valid duration during which said non-normative command is operable to adjust said at least one image quality parameter.
