Abstract: An apparatus and method allow playback of transferred moving image data by a receiving apparatus for confirmation of the received contents even when the transfer rate of moving image data for normal playback is high and when the processing capability and displaying capability of the apparatus on the receiving side are low. To this end, when the transfer rate of moving image data for normal playback is high and when the processing capability and displaying capability of a personal computer are low, received image data for high speed playback is displayed in place of decoding and displaying received moving image data for normal playback.

Abstract: A signal processing apparatus for displaying an input image in the sate in which a part of the image is enlarged, displays an enlarged image obtained by enlarging a part of a designated object in the input image so that the enlarged image is superimposed at a position in accordance with the position of the designated object.
