System Synchronized Brightness Control ™ (SSBC) is FPP's term used to describe a technology that dramatically improves the contrast and color rendition of video and photographic images on electronic displays, adding intensity to bright scenes and contrast depth to dark scenes. It can be integrated with today's video capable liquid crystal displays and projection systems. SSBC can also be used to decrease LCD power consumption in portable systems.
The SSBC technology dynamically, frame by frame, characterizes the brightness of a video or photographic image using an embedded algorithm. The frame brightness characterization is then used synchronously to set the brightness of LCD backlight and to adjust other system parameters to enable a displayed image with improved dynamic range, for both bright and dark scenes.
