Patent ID: 7808556

Claim:
A video system comprising: at least one input for receiving incoming video data, said incoming video data described by first colorimetric data; at least one output for delivering outgoing video data to a display device, said outgoing data characterized by second colorimetric data; at least one detecting element for detecting at least one displayed colorimetric characteristic of an image displayed on said display device; at least one processor for converting said incoming video data into outgoing video data as a function of said at least one displayed colorimetric characteristic; a user control communicating with said at least one processor to allow said user to cause said processor to convert incoming video data into outgoing video data as a function of a color characteristic different from said at least one displayed colorimetric characteristic; an indicator in communication with said at least one processor and responsive to the at least one displayed colorimetric characteristic for continuously indicating an ambient light condition of said video system; and display means, in communication with said at least one processor and responsive to the at least one processor determining a level of projection quality based upon the first colorimetric data and the at least one displayed colorimetric characteristic, for indicating a step for improving the level of projection quality, said step for improving related at least to an adjustment of said ambient light condition.
