A source device for transmitting content to a sink device is provided. The source device may include an interface configured to perform high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) authentication with the sink device, and a controller configured to determine an HDCP version supported by the sink device, convert the content so as to be encrypted in the HDCP version supported by the sink device in response to a determination that another HDCP version applied to the content is not supported by the sink device, encrypt the converted content in the HDCP version supported by the sink device, and control the interface to transmit the content to the sink device.

Source device, content providing method using the source device, sink device and controlling method of the sink device

A source and a sink device are provided. The sink device includes: an interface configured to receive, from a source device, a content, and image quality-related data regarding a next scene to be output after a scene output from the sink device from among a plurality of scenes forming the content; a storage configured to store the image quality-related data received from the source device; and a processor configured to perform an image quality improvement process with respect to the next scene to be output using the stored image quality-related data.

Source device and control method thereof, and sink device and image quality improvement processing method thereof

A source device and a method of transmitting content are provided. The source device includes a controller configured to check a version of a content protection method supported by a sink device from the repeater, to encrypt the content based on a version of the content protection method applied to the content, and to set a value of type information of the content protection method based on the version of the content protection method applied to the content and the version of the content protection method supported by the sink device, and a communicator including communication circuitry configured to transmit the encrypted content and the type information of the content protection method to the repeater, wherein the type information of the content protection method for determining whether the content received from the source device is output to the sink device from the repeater, based on the version of the content protection method supported by the sink device.

Source device and method of transmitting content

An example video content apparatus including: an output portion including output circuitry configured to transmit a content signal for displaying an image to a relay connected to an image processing apparatus to provide the content signal to the image processing apparatus; and at least one processor configured to receive video formation information about a first video format supported by the image processing apparatus from among a plurality of video formats from the relay, and if it is determined that the relay does not support the first video format, to output the content signal corresponding to a second video format different from the first video format and supportable by the relay from among the plurality of video formats.

Video content providing apparatus, control method thereof and system

Disclosed are a content providing apparatus, a method of controlling the same, and a recording medium thereof, the content providing apparatus including: a transmitter configured to transmit data to a display apparatus; and a processor configured to control the transmitter to transmit content data and additional data, relating to image attributes of the content data and having a fixed value corresponding to at least one section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, to the display apparatus based on a command received from a user to playback image content at a predetermined speed. Thus, it is possible to solve a problem of flickering or an error in brightness of a screen at a variable-speed playback of dynamic HDR content.

Content providing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and recording medium thereof

A display apparatus, a source apparatus, and methods of providing content are provided. The display apparatus includes: a receiver which receives content data; a storage which stores frame size information corresponding to a content type; a detector which detects the content type of the content data; a video processor which forms a content frame having a frame size corresponding to the detected content type by using the frame size information stored in the storage; and a display which displays the content frame formed by the video processor.

Display apparatus, source apparatus, and methods of providing content

An apparatus for outputting a content to a display, including a communicator configured to perform a data communication with the display; an input interface configured to receive an input content and metadata associated with the input content; and a processor configured to acquire image quality information applied to the content based on the metadata, to convert the input content into a converted content outputtable on the display by using content conversion information related to the acquired image quality information, and to control the communicator to output the converted content to the display.

Apparatus and method for converting content and outputting the converted content

Disclosed is an image display device or an image signal output device. The image display device or the image signal output device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a receiver for receiving an image; an input unit for receiving a user input to select a display mode or an image signal output mode; a determiner for determining the selected display mode; a depth map generator for generating a depth map for the received image having depth information corresponding to a predefined curvature if the result of determination indicates that the selected display mode is a 3D curved image mode; a 3D image frame generator for generating a left-eye image frame and a right-eye image frame from the received image on the basis of the generated depth map; and an output unit for outputting the generated left-eye image and right-eye image frames.

Image display device and image display method

A video content providing apparatus is provided, the video content apparatus including: an output portion comprising output circuitry configured to transmit a content signal for displaying an image to a relay connected to an image processing apparatus to provide the content signal to the image processing apparatus; and at least one processor configured to receive video formation information about a first video format supported by the image processing apparatus from among a plurality of video formats from the relay, and if it is determined that the relay does not support the first video format, to output the content signal corresponding to a second video format different from the first video format and supportable by the relay from among the plurality of video formats.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device receiving content from an external device includes a memory configured to include a first HDMI version of Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) information, a second HDMI version of EDID information, the second HDMI version being an upgraded version of the first HDMI version and, at least one resolution information supportable in the electronic device other than the first HDMI version of EDID information, an external interface configured to communicate with the external device and a processor configured to cause the second HDMI version of EDID information to not be read by the external device, to cause the EDID information of the first HDMI version among the EDID information to be read by the external device, and to cause the at least one resolution information to be read by the external device.

Electronic device and control method thereof

A image processing apparatus is provided, the image processing apparatus including: a transmitting terminal; a receiving terminal configured to receive an image signal from the transmitting terminal; a sensor configured to sense whether an image format error occurs in the image signal received in the receiving terminal; and at least one processor configured to control the transmitting terminal to recover the image signal transmitted from the transmitting terminal from the image format error in response to the image format error sensed by the sensor, and to control the receiving terminal to receive the recovered image signal.
