Abstract
A video apparatus having an integrated terminal and a control method thereof. The video apparatus may enable a video signal and/or an audio signal to be transmitted externally via a single terminal. In particular, a component video signal or a non-component video signal may be switched according to the type of cable, and then the switched signal may be output. Accordingly, the size of the video apparatus can be reduced, and the number of output terminals can be minimized.
Claims19
A video apparatus, comprising:
- an output unit to switch a component signal and a non-component signal to selectively output the component signal or the non-component signal via a predetermined terminal, and to switch an audio signal to selectively output the audio signal;
- and
- a controller to control the switching of the output unit to output one of the component signal and the non-component signal according to a type of cable connected to the predetermined terminal, and to output the audio signal via the predetermined terminal.
A control method of a video apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining a type of cable connected to a predetermined terminal;
- switching a component signal and a non-component signal to selectively output one of the component signal and the non-component signal via the predetermined terminal based on the determined type of cable;
- switching an audio signal to selectively output the audio signal;
- and
- outputting the switched signals via the predetermined terminal.
A video apparatus, comprising:
- an output unit to output a component signal or a non-component signal via an output terminal of the output unit;
- and
- a controller to transfer the component signal or the non-component signal to the output unit according to a state of the output terminal.
A control method of a video apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting a type of cable connected to an output terminal of the video apparatus;
- setting an output mode of the video apparatus based on the detected type of cable;
- detecting an impedance of an external apparatus connected to the cable;
- and
- transmitting a video signal corresponding to the type of cable in response to a change in the detected impedance.
