Picture Settings

• RDK TV Picture Settings feature is implemented via RDK TV Settings thunder service which provides TV applications an interface to change TV picture settings.
• RDK TV Settings provides configurable options to change TV Picture settings based on viewing/picture modes and content format.
• Persists the picture setting values changed by TV applications in a non-volatile area and re applies them on every bootup.
• Provides default values for all picture settings.
• SoC picture quality drivers are responsible for handling content format change, source change and picture mode change events. Apply appropriate picture settings in response to these events

• RDK TV Settings like any other thunder module is initialized at cold bootup by the RDK thunder framework.
• Upon initialization it reads and applies the last set picture mode and associated picture settings following customization rules as specified in /etc/tvproduct_config.ini file.
• Once initialised RDK TV Settings thunder module activates itself providing an interface to TV Application for changing picture setting parameters.
• For any changes to picture setting parameters, the TV Application invokes the set thunder APIs and passes the values to be set as parameters. RDK TV Settings thunder module follows the rules set in /etc/tvproduct_config.ini file to apply the value.
• The last set value for any picture setting parameter can be queried by the TV Application using get thunder APIs. The returned value will always be for the current content format being played and current picture mode selected.
• If TV Application decides to reset to default, the corresponding reset APIs can be invoked and TV Settings module will use default values for the product and apply them following the rules set in /etc/tvproduct_config.ini file.
