ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for optimizing picture quality of a video signal. The method includes displaying a user menu having a plurality of choices of video labels; receiving a choice of video label from the plurality via an input from a user; translating the video label into a label code; receiving at least a first video processing parameter from a look-up table corresponding to the label code; and configuring a video processor according to the first video processing parameter. The apparatus includes a microprocessor; a memory associated with the microprocessor, the memory for storing video parameters associated with video processing; a video input selector coupled to a plurality of video inputs, the video input selector also coupled to the microprocessor to receive a choice of video inputs therefrom; and a video processor connected to the microprocessor for receiving video parameters therefrom, the video processor also coupled to the video input selector to receive a video signal therefrom and to condition the video signal using the video parameters. The invention may be implemented in software, hardware, firmware, microcode, and other such media.
