Video data transmission/reception method and apparatus therefor
The present disclosure provides a method for a source device to establish a connection with a sink device, and an apparatus related thereto. According to the present disclosure, a method for a source device to establish a connection with a sink device comprising: receiving, from the sink device, first capability information of the sink device related to a specific operation; transmitting, to the sink device, support version information on a version of capability information of the sink device readable by the source device; and receiving, from the sink device, second capability information of the sink device related to the specific operation based on the support version information, wherein a version of the second capability information is configured based on the support version information.
1. A method for a source device to establish a connection with a sink device, the method comprising:
receiving, from the sink device, first capability information of the sink device related to a specific operation;
transmitting, to the sink device, support version information on a version of capability information of the sink device readable by the source device; and
receiving, from the sink device, second capability information of the sink device related to the specific operation based on the support version information,
wherein a version of the second capability information is configured to (i) a same version as a version of the first capability information, or (ii) a higher version than the version of the first capability information, based on the support version information, and
wherein the version of the first capability information is configured to be transmitted using a specific version regardless of the version of the capability information supportable by the sink device.
2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the support version information is information on whether the source device supports the capability information of the sink device of a higher version than the specific version of the first capability information.
3. The method of claim 2 ,
wherein based on the support version information including information that the source device supports the capability information of the sink device of a higher version than the specific version of the first capability information, the version of the second capability information is set to a higher version than the specific version of the first capability information based on the support version information.
4. The method of claim 3 ,
wherein based on the support version information including information that the source device supports the capability information of the sink device of a higher version than the specific version of the first capability information, the support version information further includes sub- version information on a sub-version of the version of the capability information of the sink device that the source device can read,
wherein the version of the capability information of the sink device is defined in a form of x, y,
wherein the x and the y are non-negative integers,
wherein as values of the x and the y are larger, the capability information of the sink device is a higher version capability information, and
wherein the y indicates the sub-version of the version of the capability information of the sink device.
5. The method of claim 4 ,
wherein the value of the x of the specific version of the first capability information is 1, and
wherein the value of x of the version of the second capability information set to a higher version than the specific version of the first capability information is 2.
6. The method of claim 4 ,
wherein based on the support version information including information that the source device does not support the capability information of the sink device of a version higher than the specific version of the first capability information, the second capability information is not transmitted from the sink device to the source device.
7. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the support version information is included in DPCD (DisplayPort Configuration Data) and transmitted.
8. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the support version information is included in SDP(Second Data Packet)and transmitted.
9. A source device to establish a connection with a sink device, the source device comprising:
a transmitter for transmitting and receiving data,
a control unit for controlling the transmitter; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the control unit and storing instructions for performing operations when executed by the enemy control unit,
wherein the operations include:
receiving, from the sink device, first capability information of the sink device related to a specific operation;
transmitting, to the sink device, support version information on a version of capability information of the sink device readable by the source device; and
receiving, from the sink device, second capability information of the sink device related to the specific operation based on the support version information,
wherein a version of the second capability information is configured to (i) a same version as a version of the first capability information, or (ii) a higher version than the version of the first capability information, based on the support version information, and
wherein the version of the first capability information is configured to be transmitted using a specific version regardless of the version of the capability information supportable by the sink device.
