Abstract

An adaptive gain and offset control for a digital video analog to digital converter is provided. A gain indicator and/or an offset indicator, which are used as inputs control signals to an analog-to-digital converter, are determined based on a detected maximum level and a detected blanking level from an input video signal. The gain and offset indicators may be determined independently from a minimum level of the video signal.
