A video correction system and method are disclosed that provide video correction
for an input signal. The system includes a logarithmic converter that creates a
logarithmic representation of the input signal. A configurable corrector/converter
comprises a plurality of associated components operative to process the logarithmic
representation of the input signal. The configurable corrector/converter produces
an output signal having at least one desirable signal characteristic. A switch
control selects a configuration for the corrector/converter. The configuration
indicates at least one of the plurality of associated components that will process
the logarithmic representation.
