Abstract
An image apparatus and a method for receiving a video signal are provided. The image apparatus includes dedicated input terminals for receiving only particular video signals, and a common input terminal for receiving diverse video signals, and determines the format of video signals input through a corresponding input terminal and then displays the determined format on a screen. Accordingly, the number of input terminals can be reduced and the user can identify the format of the video signal input through the common input terminal.
Claims22
A video signal processing apparatus comprising:
- a video signal input unit including first video input terminal and second video input terminal;
- and
- a signal processing unit configured to process a first video signal received via the first video input terminal and a second video signal received via the second video input terminal based on an automatically determined first video mode when the second video signal is received while the first video signal is received and to process the first video signal received via the first video input terminal based on an automatically determined second video mode when the second video signal is not received while the first video signal is received.
A video processing apparatus comprising:
- a video signal input unit including first video input terminal and second video input terminal;
- a menu generating unit configured to generate a menu screen to be displayed;
- a control unit configured to control the menu generating unit to display a menu screen providing an indicator for a first video mode in a first state and an indicator for a second video mode in a second state based on whether the second video input terminals is connected while the first video input terminal is connected, to control the menu generating unit to display a menu screen providing the indicator for the first video mode in the second state and the indicator for the second video mode in the first state based on whether the second video input terminals is not connected while the first video input terminal is connected, and to process a video signal received via at least one of the first video input terminal and the second video input terminal in accordance with one of the first video mode and the second video mode selected according to a command received via the menu.
