PictureMode Interface

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');
