Abstract: Object To transmit well a video signal of a desired bit rate within a transfer bit rate of a transfer path. Solving Means A control unit 111 controls the operation of data compression units 121-1 through 121-n and switch unit 122. When the bit rate BR of a non-compressed video signal output from a codec 117 is within the transfer bit rate BR2 of an HDMI transfer path, the control unit 111 supplies the non-compressed video signal output from the codec 117 to the HDMI transmitting unit 102 as a video signal to be transmitted. On the other hand, when the bit rate BR1 is greater than the bit rate BR2, the control unit 111 selects a compression method that can be handled on the receiving side performs compression processing so that the bit rate BR1 becomes lower than the bit rate BR2, and supplies the compression video signal to the HDMI transmitting unit 102 as a video signal to be transmitted.

Abstract: A switch circuit includes: a first charge/discharge circuit having a fixed first time constant; a second charge/discharge circuit having a second time constant associated with the operation statuses of a plurality of switches; first and second input/output ports to which the first and second charge/discharge circuits are connected, respectively; and a control section adapted to measure the first and second time constants by charging or discharging the first and second charge/discharge circuits and determine the operation statuses of a plurality of switches based on the ratio of the measured first and second time constants.

Abstract: An image processing device of present invention includes a characteristic value extracting unit which receives an input of video data forming a plurality of three dimensional images, and extracts a characteristic value indicating a position of each three dimensional image in a depth direction, and a characteristic value correcting unit which corrects the characteristic value to make stereoscopic effects of the plurality of three dimensional images uniform.

Abstract: To provide an electronic apparatus capable of easily detecting a terminal that forms a loop connection state with a simplified configuration. A control unit counts the number of broadcast packet supplied from a switching hub to a communication unit within a predetermined time period and determines whether the number of packets exceeds a threshold value (ST2, ST3). If the number of packets exceeds the threshold value, the control unit determines that an abnormal connection state occurs, that is, a loop is detected and starts a process in which the control unit identifies a network terminal that forms the loop connection state (ST3, ST5). The control unit counts the number of broadcast packets that reach each of the network terminals, that is, broadcast packets input to each port of the switching hub.
