Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a memory that stores a first EDID including an identification bit set to respond to a separate electronic device when the separate electronic device supports a first version of the HDMI, a transmitter that transmits the first EDID, and a receiver. When the receiver receives first control information including response information set in response to the identification bit, a compliant version of the HDMI to be operated is determined according to the response information. When the receiver does not receive the first control information, the compliant version of the HDMI to be operated is determined according to an attribute of a video and audio signal transmitted from the separate electronic device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an adapter apparatus includes a first connector conforming to the first standard, a second connector conforming to the second standard, a first transmitter and circuitry. The first transmitter transmits a first signal to a first external apparatus connected via the first connector. The first signal associates with a request to determine whether a first mode is supported by the first external apparatus. The first mode corresponds to a communication mode that conforms to a second standard via the first connector. The circuitry generates a second signal when the first external apparatus does not support the first mode. The second signal is used to make an indication representing that the first external apparatus does not support the first mode.
