3.3.3.1 Write Parameters

Table 3-67 describes the write parameters.

Parameter Bytes Description
Byte 1 See Table 3-68
Byte 2 CAIC maximum lumens gain
Byte 3 CAIC clipping threshold
Table 3-68 Byte 1 Write Parameters
MSB Byte 1 LSB

CAIC gain display enable:

  • 0h: Disabled
  • 1h: Enabled
b(6) CAIC gain display scale:
  • 0h: 100% = 1024 pixels
  • 1h: 100% = 512 pixels
b(5:0) Reserved

The CAIC algorithm (Content Adaptive Illumination Control) provides adaptive control of the LED currents and the digital gain applied to the image.

The CAIC algorithm is enabled or disabled based on the method of LED current control selected by the user using the Write LED Output Control Method command. When enabled, the CAIC algorithm provides automatic control of the LED currents as specified by this command and the Write LED Output Control Method command.

The CAIC gain display provides a visual presentation of the instantaneous gain provided by the CAIC algorithm. The CAIC gain display is typically used as a debug tool and to show the performance of the algorithm; The CAIC gain display must never be used for normal operation. The display is composed of five bars, with the bottom three bars (green, red, and blue) showing the respective CAIC gain for each color. The top two bars are for TI debug use only.

Table 3-69 shows the bit order and weighting for the CAIC maximum lumens gain value, which has a valid range from 1.0 to 4.0. Values outside of this range are considered an error (invalid write parameter value – communication status) and the command does not execute.

22 21 20 2–1 2–2 2–3 2–4 2–5

The CAIC maximum lumens gain parameter sets the maximum lumens gain for a pixel as a result of both digital gain and increasing LED currents. The CAIC maximum lumens gain parameter also serves to bias the CAIC algorithm towards either constant power (variable brightness) or constant lumens (variable power). Some examples are listed below:

  • Maximum gain value = 1.0: This biases performance to constant lumens. In this case, LED power is reduced for those images where this is possible, but lumens do not increase or decrease.
  • Maximum lumens gain value = 4.0: This biases performance to constant power. In this case, power is held constant for most images, while the lumens are gained up. For the small percent of images where the gain exceeds 4.0, lumens stop increasing and the power is reduced.

Table 3-70 shows the bit order and weighting for the CAIC clipping threshold value, which has a valid range from 0.0% to 2.0%. Values outside of this range are considered an error (invalid write parameter value – communication status) and the command does not execute.

Table 3-70 Bit Weight Definition for the CAIC Clipping Threshold Value
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
21 20 2–1 2–2 2–3 2–4 2–5 2–6

The CAIC clipping threshold parameter sets the percentage of pixels clipped by the CAIC algorithm over the full frame of active data, due to the digital gain applied by the CAIC algorithm.

Table 3-71 shows the bit order and weighting for the CAIC RGB intensity gain values, which have a valid range from 0.0 to almost 1.0. Values outside of this range are considered an error (invalid write parameter value – communication status) and the command does not execute.
