Image processing device and image processing method
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, an image processing device of the invention includes a storage portion which stores EDID information, a communication portion which executes communication based on HDMI standard with another image processing device through a communication passage, supplies the EDID information stored in the storage portion and receives an image/sound signal from the another image processing device, a reproducing portion which reproduces the image/sound signal received by the communication portion, and a changing portion which changes the EDID information stored in the storage portion when the reproducing portion cannot reproduce the image/sound signal properly.
1. An image processing device comprising:
a storage portion configured to store EDID (extended display identification data) information;
a communication portion configured to execute communication based on a first HDMI standard with another image processing device through a communication passage, supply the EDID information stored in the storage portion, and receive an image/sound signal from the other image processing device through the communication passage;
a reproducing portion configured to reproduce the image/sound signal received by the communication portion;
a changing portion configured to change the EDID information stored in the storage portion to EDID information supporting a second HDMI standard that is different from the first HDMI standard and supply the changed EDID information to the other image processing device using the communication portion when the reproducing portion is incapable of reproducing the image/sound signal properly; and
a display configured to display a message that turning off power supply is inhibited when the changing portion is changing the EDID information stored in the storage portion.
2. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to change the EDID information stored in the storage portion according to a supplied operation signal.
3. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to cause a screen to be displayed for inquiring whether or not reproduction by the reproducing portion is executed successfully and, when receiving an operation signal meaning that the reproduction by the reproducing portion is not executed successfully, change the EDID stored in the storage portion.
4. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to, when detecting that the reproducing portion is incapable of reproducing the image/sound signal, change the EDID stored in the storage portion.
5. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to change the EDID by changing ON/OFF of control information of LipSync, xvYCC and DeepColor possessed by the EDID.
6. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to prepare the EDID of eight patterns of combinations of ON/OFF of the control information of LipSync, xvYCC and DeepColor and select any one thereof.
7. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to set up a preference order for the control information of the DeepColor, xvYCC and LipSync and turn only one piece of control information OFF selectively following the preference order.
8. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the changing portion is configured to generate image information for displaying a screen for use in selecting any one of the pieces of control information of the DeepColor, xvYCC and LipSync.
9. An image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the reproducing portion is configured to generate image information corresponding to the message which indicates that power is not to be turned off while the changing portion is changing the EDID.
10. An image processing method comprising:
connecting a first image processing device having EDID (extended display identification data) information with a second image processing device through a communication passage based on a first HDMI standard;
obtaining the EDID information from the first image processing device by means of the second image processing device and supplying an image/sound signal corresponding to the EDID information to the first image processing device;
receiving the image/sound signal from the second image processing device by the first image processing device and reproducing the image/sound signal;
when the first image processing device is incapable of reproducing the image/sound signal, changing the EDID information stored in a storage portion to EDID information supporting a second HDMI standard which is different from the first HDMI standard and supply the changed EDID information to the second image processing device; and
displaying a message that turning off power supply is inhibited during the changing of the EDID information stored in the storage portion.
