摘要:
An electronic device to determine a type of digital interface between a source device and a sink device. A control unit of the sink device may include a determining unit which determines whether or not the source device is connected to this sink device, and whether or not the digital interface of a data transmission unit of the source device is a HDMI standard or a new standard. When a data reception unit can handle both the HDMI standard and new standard, based on the determination result of the determining unit, a control unit may switch the operation of the data reception unit so as to perform an operation in accordance with the digital interface of the data transmission unit of the source device. A connector unit for connecting the devices which may operate using the digital interfaces of HDMI and the new standard can be shared.

[Object] To determine the digital interface of a connected external device at a circuit, whereby the operation of a data transmission unit can be switched in accordance with the digital interface of the connected external device.[Solution] A control unit 123 of a sink device 120 includes a determining unit 124. This determining unit 124 determines whether or not a source device 110 is connected to this sink device 120, whether or not the digital interface of a data transmission unit 112 of the source device 110 is HDMI standard or new standard, and so forth. In the event that a data reception unit 122 can handle both of HDMI standard and new standard, based on the determination result of the determining unit 124, a control unit 123 switches the operation of the data reception unit 122 so as to perform operation in accordance with the digital interface of the data transmission unit 112 of the source device 110. A connector unit for connecting an external device which operates using the digital interfaces of HDMI and new standard can be shared, which is advantageous to a cost aspect and a space aspect.

[Object] To enable an external device to recognize, in the case of including a communication unit configured to execute communication via a communication path made up of a pair of differential transmission paths included in a transmission path, information relating to the communication unit thereof.[Solving means] A disk recorder 210 transmits function information indicating that a communication unit (high-speed data line I/F 213) configured to execute communication with an external device via a communication path made up of a reserve line and an HPD line of an HDMI cable 350 to a television receiver 250 via a CEC line that is a control data line of the HDMI cable 350. The television receiver 250 receives function information, whereby whether or not the disk recorder 210 is an eHDMI-compatible device can be determined, and in the case of an eHDMI-compatible device, a compatible transmission format (application) can be recognized. It can also be conceived to transmit the function information from the television receiver 250 to the disk recorder 210 in the same way as described above.

摘要:
To enable signal transmission at a high data rate while securing backward compatibility.A source device 110 and a sink device 120 are connected by an HDMI cable 200. The source device 110 is compatible with both current HDMI and new HDMI. The number of differential signal channels for transmitting digital signals such as video data is three in the current HDMI, but is six in the new HDMI, for example. In a case where the cable 200 is compatible with the new HDMI, and the sink device 120 is compatible with the new HDMI, a control unit 113 of the source device 110 controls a data transmitting unit 112 to operate in a new HDMI operating mode. In a case where the control unit 113 determines that at least the sink device 120 is compatible only with the current HDMI, or at least the cable 200 is compatible with the current HDMI, the control unit 113 controls the data transmitting unit 112 to operate in a current HDMI operating mode.
