The present disclosure provides a method and a system for switching EDID version in a TV device. The TV device includes an application layer, a middleware layer, a driving layer, a display, and at least one memory. The method includes: determining whether a target resolution of the TV device is high in response to user commands by the application layer; retrieving EDID versions of the TV device via reading EDID files stored in at least one the memory by the middleware layer; writing the EDID versions into registers of the driving layer and activating a HDMI port by the driving layer; reading the EDID versions stored in the registers by a transmitting end of HDMI signals upon determining the HDMI port being activated; and outputting the HDMI signals via the display of the TV device.

A method for controlling a light source of a display is provided. In the method, maximum frame rates are determined for different portions of video content to be displayed on the display. The light source of the display is controlled to blink according to a blinking frequency when a first portion of the video content having a first maximum frame rate is displayed. First metadata of high dynamic range is received. The light source of the display is controlled to not blink when a second portion of the video content having a second maximum frame rate is displayed. The video content is displayed at the maximum frame rates and in the high dynamic range

Methods for a soft universal remote (SUR) controller are performed by systems and apparatuses. Audio/visual (A/V) devices may be controlled by hardware remote controllers that are not configured to control other devices of an audio/visual system. A SUR controller implemented by an A/V device provides consumable control signals to such other devices based on control signals from the A/V device remote controller. A SUR controller determines another device for which a received control function is directed, and transmits a generated consumable control signal for the control function of the received control signal to the other device. User interfaces are provided by SUR controllers for the configuration of SUR controllers and remote controllers, and for control of other A/V devices via the user interfaces.

A multi-format digital video production system is capable of maintaining full-bandwidth resolution of subject material while providing professional quality editing and manipulation of images intended for digital television and other applications, including digital HDTV programs and specialized video monitoring applications. This allows emerging broadband video transmission media, including Internet broadcast schemes, to overcome existing technology limitations. The approach facilitates high-quality/large-screen video production and monitoring through the use of conventional broadband channels, including those which currently only exhibit bandwidths on the order of 4 Mbps. In formats utilizing substantially 24 fps progressive scan multi-format system, direct streaming is made possible from HDTV (16:9) high-quality data, thereby expanding market applications which require these higher levels of resolution, bits per pixel, and so forth. For example, these formats are employable to enable a video surveillance system to transmit images and video streams to a remote viewing device.

A video signal conversion device includes a frontend interface circuit, a FPGA video processor and a backend interface circuit. The frontend interface circuit receives a HDR video input signal from a video transmitting device. The FPGA video processor outputs a SDR first video output signal. A video receiving device receives the first video output signal and a HDR second video output signal from the FPGA video processor through the video bridge controller of the backend interface circuit by PCI-E.
