Video apparatus with controllable processing means and method for controlling the processing means

摘要

A video apparatus has a receiver (5) for receiving and converting an RF signal (RF) into a video signal (CVBS; YCrCb). The video signal (CVBS; YCrCb) is then processed (notably encoded) into an encoded digital stream (MPEG) by processing means (8; 10). The processing means (8; 10) is adjusted based on an indicator (SAMP) of a characteristic of the video signal (CVBS). A method for controlling the processing means is suggested.
