  • Patent number: 11503246
    Abstract: A video output controlling apparatus and a video output controlling method that can reduce the possibility that a video for which encryption is required may be outputted in a non-encrypted state are provided. A first acceptance unit (40) accepts a video and an encryption necessity signal indicative of whether or not encryption of the video is required via a first route. A second acceptance unit (44) accept a control signal via a second route different from the first route. A video conversion unit (46) converts, in accordance with the control signal, the video accepted by the first acceptance unit (40) into one of a video that is different in a format from that of the video and is in an encrypted state and a video that is different in a format from that of the video and is not in an encrypted state.

  • Patent number: 10271007
    Abstract: A video output apparatus that outputs video data in a first format to a conversion apparatus that converts and outputs the received data in the first format into data in a second format. The conversion apparatus sequentially outputs a blank signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and a blank signal. The video output apparatus includes a frame image data output unit that outputs the first frame image data to the conversion apparatus, a blank signal output unit that outputs a blank signal to the conversion apparatus, and a trigger signal output unit that outputs, to the conversion apparatus, a trigger signal to be converted into a vertical synchronization signal by the conversion apparatus.
