Brightness controller, brightness control method, and computer program product

An information processing apparatus includes: an information transmitter; a plurality of receivers that receive information transmitted from the information transmitter; a storage unit that stores first information indicating an output destination of display data and sound data, the first information being correlated with and second information indicating ON/OFF states of each of the receivers; a setting unit that sets the ON/OFF states based on the first information and the second information when the output destination of the display data and sound data is switched.

Information processing apparatus for playback of multiple display devices

An AV function section is provided with a standby mode serving to reduce power consumption during standby. An embedded controller provides such control as shifts or recovers the AV function section to or from the standby mode. Further, a network processor accepts, via a network such as a wireless LAN, a command causing the AV function section to shift to or recover from the standby mode. On the basis of this command, the network processor instructs, via a control signal line, the embedded controller to shift or recover the AV function section to or from the standby mode.
