Picture Engine :
Director of Samsung PQ
There is a hidden director behind all
Samsung TVs.
Q Engine SAMSUNG- 10bit support, CV 100% , Q Color, Quantum Dot, Ultra Black, Q Contrast Elite, Direct Full Array Elite, HDR 10+ /
UHD Engine- 10bit support, Dynamic Crystal, Color, Pur Color, WCG, True 4K UHD Resolution, HDR, HDR 10+, Ultra Slim Array
It gives breath to Samsung’s proprietary features and allows them to come alive and delivers the best-in class picture performance.
With its brilliant data analysis & tuning process, it creates the ultimate color, clarity, contrast, and HDR.
It is the processor – the picture engine of Samsung TV.
Color Mastering
Accurate color mapping & control with more color data.
Color input > Q Engine (16 Bit Color Mapping) Small range of colors, Conventional Color Map> Wide range of colors, 16 Bit Color Map > More color data(16 Bits) for more accurate color mappong
> 3-dimensional Color Control > 3D Color Space > Added 3rd dimension- brightness - for the most accurate color mapping > Color Output
HDR Mastering
Distinctive textures and depth by using
Multi-curve and Dynamic Metadata.
HDR input > Q Engine (16 Bit Multi-curve Processing)/ Brightness within scenes- Banding > Smooth / Improve HDR output with 16 Bit Multi-curve data > (Dynamic Metadata-based )/ Different brightness per scene- Dark Scene(Brightness Tone Curve 1), Average Scene(Brightness Tone Curve 2), Bright Scene(Brightness Tone Curve n) / HDR mastered with unique curve data for each scene by scene.
> HDR Output
Clarity Mastering
Detail enhancement followed by nois reduction and 4K upscaling.
Detail Input > Q Engine,Sequential Clarity Processing ※ 4-Step for Global NU7090(excludes pre-detail enhancement),Signal Analysis-Live TV, VOD, FHD, HD > Analyze the source’s resolution, compression codec and bit rate to apply the most optimal process. Noise Reduction-Contour Noise,Block Noise,Mosquito Noise,Dot Crawl Noise > Eliminate various types of noise using frame information.
> Pre-detail Enhance-ment- Original Source > Sharper and Deeper Edge > Enhance sharpness by analyzing the picture’s edges, textures and details. > 4K Upscaling, Create 4K-level detail based on surrounding characteristics. > Post-detail Enhance-ment- Original Source, Sharper and Deeper Edge > Enhance sharpness by analyzing the picture’s edges, textures and details. ※ 4-Step for Global NU7090(excludes pre-detail enhancement) > Detail Output
Contrast Mastering
Contrast Control based on block, scene,
and environment.
Detail Input > Q Engine,Local CE(Contrast Enhancement)- Bright Block(More Detail Enhancement In Dark), Dark Block(More Detail Enhancement In Bright)> Contrast adjustment for each block in a scene.
> Contrast Algorithm by Scene- Blooming, Pillar box, Letter box > Different contrast algorithm for different types of scenes. > Illuminance Analysis- Dimming based on room lighting condition.
> HDR Output
