Abstract
A display system is constructed by a display apparatus having a display for displaying an image regarding input video data, a memory to store control information indicative of a frame rate of video data which can be displayed by the display, and a communicating unit for transmitting the control information stored in the memory. An image processing apparatus receives the control information transmitted from the display apparatus and for supplies the video data to the display apparatus in accordance with the received control information.
Claims24
A display apparatus for displaying an image regarding video data which is generated by an external apparatus outside of said display apparatus and is supplied from outside of said display apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit having a memory which stores control information indicative of a frame rate of video data which can be displayed by said display unit;
- instruction means for instructing to turn on a power source for said display apparatus;
- and
- communicating means for reading the control information from said memory and for transmitting the control information read out from said memory to said external apparatus outside of said display apparatus in response to the instruction to turn on the power source by said instruction means, wherein
- said external apparatus determines a processing parameter of the video data on the basis of the control information transmitted thereto by said communicating means, and wherein said external apparatus includes control means for determining the processing parameter of the video data on the basis of the control information transmitted to said external apparatus by said communicating means, said control means including arithmetic operating means for performing an arithmetic operation by using the control information transmitted to said external apparatus by said communicating means and for calculating the processing parameter.
