Tuning the CSC Feature

This section describes how to tune the CSC feature to control the color space conversion (CSC) submodules of sharpness within a DC9400.

Before you begin

Make sure:
  • The details view contains the CSC table for sharpness.

    To tune this feature, you need to choose DC9400 > Sharpness > CSC in the Features view. For more details, see Tuning a DC9400 Feature.

    Figure 1. CSC Table for Sharpness

  • A VTunerServer is accessible.

    For information about how to set up a connection to a VTunerServer, see Setting Up a Connection to a VTunerServer.

About this task

This feature is used to tune the CSC submodules of sharpness, which perform YUV-to-RGB conversion and RGB-to-YUV conversion within the sharpness module respectively.

Procedure

  1. Next to YUV2RGB Coef, click View/Edit this Table and edit the YUV-to-RGB conversion coefficients in the prompted dialog.
    The CSC submodule performs YUV-to-RGB conversion based on the coefficients and offsets specified in the table as follows:

    [ R G B ] = [ coef00 y2r coef01 y2r coef02 y2r coef10 y2r coef11 y2r coef12 y2r coef20 y2r coef21 y2r coef22 y2r ] ( [ Y U V ] - [ offset0 y2r offset1 y2r offset2 y2r ] )

    You can use one of the following methods to update the YUV2RGB Coef table:
    • Double-click and edit a cell in the table to update a single value.
    • Click Edit and update the values in the prompted Edit Table dialog.

      The values must be specified in the same order as the table columns and separated by a comma (,).

    • Click Export to export the values to a .csv file, edit the file, and then import the updated values from the .csv file.

      The order of the values in the exported .csv file is the same as that in the table.

  2. Next to RGB2YUV Coef, click View/Edit this Table and edit the RGB-to-YUV conversion coefficients in the prompted dialog.
    The CSC submodule performs RGB-to-YUV conversion based on the coefficients and offsets specified in the table as follows:

    [ Y U V ] = [ coef00 r2y coef01 r2y coef02 r2y coef10 r2y coef11 r2y coef12 r2y coef20 r2y coef21 r2y coef22 r2y ] ( [ R G B ] - [ offset0 r2y offset1 r2y offset2 r2y ] )

    The methods of updating the RGB2YUV Coef table are similar to those of updating the YUV2RGB Coef table described in Step 1.

Results

  • The tuning results are printed in the Console view in real time.
  • The image displayed on the VTunerServer side is updated.
