Video receiving apparatus and broadcast receiving apparatus
View Patent ↗An video receiving apparatus which reduces waiting time till image is displayed on a monitor include: a plurality of authentication executing units which perform respectively an authentication process to the external devices connected to each of the plurality of input terminals; a terminal selecting unit which selects one of the plurality of input terminals as a video input terminal based on an operation input from outside; an video receiving unit which receives the video information through one of the authentication executing units corresponding to the selected input terminal from the external devices connected through the selected input terminal; and a display control unit which outputs the received video information to a monitor.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a first input terminal to which a first external device is connected;
a second input terminal to which a second external device is connected;
a controller which separately performs authentication with the first external device via the first input terminal and authentication with the second external device via the second input terminal;
a first path which receives a signal from the first external device via the first input terminal; and
a second path which receives a signal from the second external device via the second input terminal
wherein
the controller does not cancel the authentication with the first external device based on switching from the first path to the second path.
2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a connection checker which judges whether or not the first external device is connected to the first input terminal;
wherein the controller performs authentication based on a result of checking by the connection checker.
3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the input terminals complies with High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard.
4. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the connection checker is directly instructed by the controller.
5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein information indicating the authentication is stored in a memory.
6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller outputs video information input via the first input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the first path has been performed, the authentication with the first external device is maintained.
7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller does not output video information input via the first input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the first path has been performed, the authentication with the first external device is not maintained.
8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller performs authentication with the second external device via the second terminal, and
the controller outputs video information input via the second input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the second path has been performed, the authentication with the second external device is maintained.
9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller performs authentication with the second external device via the second terminal, and
the controller does not output video information input via the second input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the second path has been performed, the authentication with the second external device is not maintained.
10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
when the controller has not completed authentication with the first external device, the controller completes authentication with the first external device and then maintains the authentication.
11. A display apparatus comprising:
a first input terminal to which a first external device is connected;
a second input terminal to which a second external device is connected;
a controller which separately performs authentication with the first external device via the first input terminal and authentication with the second external device via the second input terminal;
a first path which receives a signal from the first external device via the first input terminal; and
a second path which receives a signal from the second external device via the second input terminal,
wherein
the controller maintains the authentication with the first external device after switching from the first path to the second path until switching back from the second path to the first path.
12. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a connection checker which judges whether or not the first external device is connected to the first input terminal,
wherein the controller performs authentication based on a result of checking by the connection checker.
13. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the connection checker is directly instructed by the controller.
14. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the input terminals complies with High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard.
15. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein information indicating the authentication is stored in a memory.
16. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller outputs video information input via the first input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the first path has been performed, the authentication with the first external device is maintained.
17. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller does not output video information input via the first input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the first path has been performed, the authentication with the first external device is not maintained.
18. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller performs authentication with the second external device via the second terminal, and
the controller outputs video information input via the second input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the second path has been performed, the authentication with the second external device is maintained.
19. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein
the controller performs authentication with the second external device via the second terminal, and
the controller does not output video information input via the second input terminal to the display when, in a state where switching to the second path has been performed, the authentication with the second external device is not maintained.
20. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein
when the controller has not completed authentication with the first external device, the controller completes authentication with the first external device and then maintains the authentication.
