Abstract

An image shooting apparatus records video information obtained by shooting a subject, and transfers the video information to an external appliance by communication conforming to the HDMI standards. The image shooting apparatus also records rotation information representing how, when a video based on the video information is displayed on the external appliance, the video is to be rotated, and, when transferring the video information, transmits the rotation information to the external appliance by use of CEC conforming to the HDMI standards. Thus, an image shooting apparatus that transmits a shot video to an external appliance also transmits rotation information by use of CEC so as to be capable of making the external appliance display the shot image in a rotated state.

Claims (14)

1. A video processing system comprising an image shooting apparatus and a video display apparatus, wherein

the image shooting apparatus records video information obtained by shooting a subject, and transfers the video information to the video display apparatus by communication conforming to an HDMI standard,

the image shooting apparatus records rotation information representing how, when a video based on the video information is displayed on the video display apparatus, the video is to be rotated,

when transferring the video information, the image shooting apparatus transmits the rotation information to the video display apparatus by use of CEC conforming to an HDMI standard,

the video display apparatus receives the transferred video information and display the video based on the video information, and

the video display apparatus display the video after rotating the video according to the rotation information, wherein

the video display apparatus creates the rotation information based on information entered by a user, and transmits the rotation information by use of CEC conforming to an HDMI standard, and

the image shooting apparatus receives the rotation information from the video display apparatus and records the rotation information, wherein

the video display apparatus accepts entry of a rotation angle by a user, and detects a timing at which the rotation angle is entered,

the video display apparatus creates the rotation information representing the detected timing and the entered rotation angle, and transmits the rotation information to the image shooting apparatus, and

during display of the video based on the video information,

when the timing represented by the rotation information arrives, the video based on the video information is rotated by the rotation angle represented by the rotation information.

2. The video processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

every time shooting is executed, the image shooting apparatus records video information obtained from the shooting in a separate file, and for each such file, the image shooting apparatus records the rotation information.
