A video output apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about display states of a plurality of display devices;
- a video output unit configured to output video data to the display devices;
- and
- a control unit configured to, when a display device to which the video data is output by the video output unit is in a display state of OFF, control the video output unit to output the video data to a display device whose display state is ON based on the information about the display state acquired by the acquisition unit.
A method for outputting video comprising:
- acquiring information about display states of a plurality of display devices;
- outputting video data to the display devices;
- controlling processing of the video output such that the video data is output to a display device whose display state is ON when a display device to which the video data is output is in a display state of “OFF” based on the acquired information.
A computer-executable program configured to cause a computer to perform operations including:
- acquiring information about display states of a plurality of display devices;
- outputting video data to the display devices;
- controlling processing of the video output such that the video data is output to a display device whose display state is ON when a display device to which the video data is output is in a display state of “OFF” based on the acquired information.
