ADAPTIVE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT (ACE)
The ADV7280/ADV7280-M can increase the contrast of an
image depending on the content of the picture, allowing bright
areas to be made brighter and dark areas to be made darker. The
optional ACE feature enables the contrast within dark areas to
be increased without significantly affecting the bright areas. The
ACE feature is particularly useful in automotive applications,
where it can be important to discern objects in shaded areas.
The ACE function is disabled by default. To enable the ACE
function, execute the register writes shown in Table 13. To
disable the ACE function, execute the register writes shown
in Table 14.
