Patent ID: 8350924

Claim:
A method for processing image signals comprising: converting a digital CMYG signal of 10 bits each into a first YCbCr signal of 10 bits each, by using color interpolation; converting the first YCbCr signal of 10 bits each into a RGB signal of 8 bits each by using interpolation; performing color correction on the RGB signal of 8 bits each and converting a color-corrected RGB signal of 8 bits each into a second YCbCr signal of 8 bits each in a format which corresponds to a ITU-601 format; encoding the second YCbCr signal of 8 bits each and converting the encoded second YCbCr signal of 8 bits each into an analog video signal; and adjusting automatic exposure and automatic white balance based on the RGB signal of 8 bits each and the second YCbCr signal of 8 bits each.
