  • Patent number: 8538197
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus capable of preventing colors from changing while being displayed when images are combined. The image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a video graphic processor that combines a plurality of image signals to generate a combined image signal and an HDMI Tx that transmits, when the combined image signal is transmitted, an identification flag of one of a first color space standard and a second color space standard having a color gamut wider than a color gamut of the first color space standard as the color space standard of the combined image signal and a host CPU decides the first or second color space standard so as to prevent change in color while being displayed.

  • Publication number: 20090067808
    Abstract: A recording apparatus dubs content recorded in a recording medium loaded into a different apparatus connected to the recording apparatus. The apparatus includes a database storing information in which the medium and identifiers are associated with each other, the identifiers specifying already dubbed scenes among scenes that are unit data items, a media-type determining unit that determines whether the medium in the different apparatus is a predetermined type of recording medium in which the content can be recorded in a form in which a unique identifier is added to each of the scenes forming the content, and a dubbing range setting unit that sets a dubbing range by using, as a new scene to be dubbed, a scene different from the already dubbed scenes on the basis of the information when it is determined that the medium in the different apparatus is the predetermined type of recording medium.
