Abstract

An offset level detection method for auto color gain control of analog video signals, which is used to find an optimal offset level for determining the input of the auto color gain control. The method includes at least the following steps: First, a lower limit of the min of analog video signals is determined. The position of the lower limit of the min is set as a first min. An upper limit of the min is searched backwards from the first min. The position of the upper limit of the min is set as a second min. Finally, the first min and the second min are averaged to obtain an optimal offset level.
