According to one embodiment, an adapter apparatus includes a first connector conforming to the first standard, a second connector conforming to the second standard, a first transmitter and circuitry. The first transmitter transmits a first signal to a first external apparatus connected via the first connector. The first signal associates with a request to determine whether a first mode is supported by the first external apparatus. The first mode corresponds to a communication mode that conforms to a second standard via the first connector. The circuitry generates a second signal when the first external apparatus does not support the first mode. The second signal is used to make an indication representing that the first external apparatus does not support the first mode.

Adapter apparatus, electronic apparatus and communication method

According to one embodiment, a video sender comprises: a video processor and a communication module. The video processor creates video. The communication module is configured to communicate with a video receiver. The communication module comprises: a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver receives, from the video receiver, specific information specifying which one of a color signal and a frame rate takes precedence over the other one in transmission. The transmitter converts the video created by the video processor into video in which one of the color signal and the frame rate takes precedence over the other one in accordance with the specific information, and transmit the video thus converted to the video receiver.

Video sender and video receiver

According to one embodiment, a first controller is connected to one of a plurality of terminals. A detector is configured to detect a connection between each of the plurality of terminals and an MHL cable. A power supply module supplies electric power to a first connected apparatus connected via a first MHL cable in response to a first connection detection between a first terminal and the first MHL cable. A second controller is configured to connect the first terminal and the first controller, in response to the first connection detection, and to connect a second terminal and the first controller, when a signal is not received from the first connected apparatus via the first terminal at a timing of a second connection detection between the second terminal and a second MHL cable.
