Abstract
An HDMI source conversion device according to one aspect of the disclosure includes an HDMI interface, an IP interface, and a converter. The HDMI interface receives a first signal based on the HDMI communication protocol. The IP interface receives address information from a control device via a network based on the Internet protocol, the control device being connected to the network, and the address information indicating the address on the network of an HDMI sink conversion device that is a device different from the control device. The converter converts the first signal based on the HDMI communication protocol into a second signal based on the Internet protocol by adding at least the address information to the first signal received by the HDMI interface. The IP interface transmits the second signal to the HDMI sink conversion device via the network.
