Product Summary

The TDA9178T is a transparent analog video processor with YUV input and output interfaces. It offers three main functions: luminance vector processing, colour vector processing and spectral processing. Beside these three main functions, there are some additional functions. In the luminance vector processor of the TDA9178T, the luminance transfer function is controlled in a non-linear way by the distribution, in 5 discrete histogram sections, of the luminance values measured in a picture. As a result, the contrast ratio of the most important parts of the scene will be improved. Black restoration of the TDA9178T is available in the event of a set-up in the luminance signal. A variable gamma function, after the histogram conversion, offers the possibilities of alternative brightness control or factory adjustment of the picture tube.
