PictureMode Interface

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The PictureMode interface offers methods to set and fix to a particular mode.
By fixing the picture mode to a particular mode, an application can avoid a blinking screen even if the contents on it are changed.

Picture mode can be fixed in the manifest ("fixed_input: true"). In this case, the picture mode setting in the manifest is prioritized and this JavaScript API is ignored.

Methods Interface

  • DOMString getPictureMode()

    getPictureMode() method gets current picture mode.

  • void setPictureMode(DOMString mode)

    setPictureMode() method changes and fixes the picture mode. The mode parameter is one of three strings: 'VIDEO', 'PHOTO' and 'AUTO'. If the picture mode is set to other than 'AUTO', the picture mode is fixed until it is set to 'AUTO'.

Example

  • Set Picture Mode
      function setPictureModeCall(mode) {
        sony.tv.picturemode.setPictureMode(mode);
      }
    
      // Set picture mode as 'VIDEO'
      setPictureModeCall('VIDEO');
      // Set picture mode as 'PHOTO'
      setPictureModeCall('PHOTO');
      // Set picture mode as 'AUTO'
      setPictureModeCall('AUTO');
