Abstract: [Object] It is desired to provide a technology capable of suppressing the production cost of a system in which a video signal is transmitted via a plurality of transmission paths. [Solution] Provided is a frame generation apparatus including: an image division section configured to, in a case where a horizontal-direction pixel number in a video signal is set to integers of 0 to N−1 and a vertical-direction line number in the video signal is set to integers of 0 to M−1, perform an operation of dividing a pixel group included in a line of which the vertical-direction line number is 2m and a pixel group included in a line of which the vertical-direction line number is (2m+1) on a basis of color format information of the video signal, for all integers m satisfying 0≤m≤(M/2)−1, and thereby obtain a plurality of divided signals; and a frame generation section configured to generate a plurality of frames individually including the plurality of divided signals.

Abstract: [Object] In a case where a video signal is divided and transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver via a plurality of transmission paths, the power consumption required by at least either one of the transmitter and the receiver is reduced. [Solution] Provided is a frame generation apparatus including: an image division section configured to divide a video signal into high-order bits and low-order bits for each pixel element; a frame generation section configured to generate a first frame including the high-order bits and a second frame including the low-order bits; and a transmission operation control section configured to cause an operation of a transmission section of transmitting the second frame to a receiver to stop in a case where information regarding the receiver is prescribed information.
