SMOOTHING BRIGHTNESS TRANSITION DURING CHANNEL CHANGE
First Claim
1. A computer memory that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- access first and second, brightness metadata pertaining to respective first and second contents;
responsive to receiving a command to change presentation, from the first content to the second content, establish a composite brightness using the first and second metadata;
present at least one of the con tents using the composite brightness at a start time of a transition period;
during the transition, period, present video using a changing brightness that starts at the composite brightness at the start time of the transition period and ends at the second brightness at an end time of the transition period; and
subsequent to the end time of the transition period, present the second content using the second metadata and not using the first metadata.

Abstract
First and second brightness metadata pertaining to respective first and second contents are accessed, and responsive to receiving a command to change presentation from the first content to the second content, a composite brightness is established using the first and second metadata. At least one of the contents using the composite brightness at a start time of a transition period. During the transition period, video is presented using a changing brightness that starts at the composite brightness at the start time of the transition period and ends at the second brightness at an end time of the transition period. Subsequent to the end time of the transition period, the second content is presented using the second metadata and not using the first metadata.
