Abstract
An example video content apparatus including: an output portion including output circuitry configured to transmit a content signal for displaying an image to a relay connected to an image processing apparatus to provide the content signal to the image processing apparatus; and at least one processor configured to receive video formation information about a first video format supported by the image processing apparatus from among a plurality of video formats from the relay, and if it is determined that the relay does not support the first video format, to output the content signal corresponding to a second video format different from the first video format and supportable by the relay from among the plurality of video formats.
Claims23
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- output circuitry configured to connect to an external apparatus for relaying a signal from the electronic apparatus to a display apparatus;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from the external apparatus via the output circuitry, information indicating a first video format supported by the display apparatus,
- based on identifying that the external apparatus supports an interface standard for transmitting a signal formatted in the first video format, output via the output circuitry a first content signal formatted in the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the first content signal to the display apparatus, and
- based on identifying that the external apparatus does not support the interface standard, output via the output circuitry a second content signal formatted in a second video format different from the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the second content signal to the display apparatus.
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving information indicating a first video format supported by a display apparatus from an external apparatus for relaying a signal from the electronic apparatus to the display apparatus;
- based on identifying that the external apparatus supports an interface standard for transmitting a signal formatted in the first video format, outputting a first content signal formatted in the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the first content signal to the display apparatus;
- and
- based on identifying that the external apparatus does not support the interface standard, outputting a second content signal formatted in a second video format different from the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the second content signal to the display apparatus.
A system comprising:
- an electronic apparatus configured to provide a content signal;
- a display apparatus configured to display an image based on the content signal;
- and
- an external apparatus configured to relay the content signal from the electronic apparatus to the display apparatus,
- wherein the electronic apparatus comprises:
- output circuitry configured to connect to the external apparatus;
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from the electronic apparatus via the output circuitry, information indicating a first video format supported by the display apparatus,
- based on identifying that the external apparatus supports an interface standard for transmitting a signal formatted in the first video format, output via the output circuitry a first content signal formatted in the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the first content signal to the display apparatus, and
- based on identifying that the external apparatus does not support the interface standard, output via the output circuitry a second content signal formatted in a second video format different from the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the second content signal to the display apparatus.
An electronic apparatus for transmitting a content signal to an external apparatus for relaying the content signal from the electronic apparatus to a display apparatus, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- interface circuitry configured to connect with the external apparatus;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain, via the interface circuitry from the external apparatus, first information indicating a first video format supported by the display apparatus,
- obtain, via the interface circuitry from the external apparatus, second information,
- based on the second information indicating that the external apparatus supports an interface standard for a signal to be outputted in the first video format supported by the display apparatus according to the first information, output via the interface circuitry a first content signal formatted in the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the first content signal to the display apparatus, and
- based on the second information indicating that the external apparatus does not support the interface standard, output via the interface circuitry a second content signal formatted in a second video format different from the first video format to the external apparatus such that the external apparatus relays the second content signal to the display apparatus.
