  • Publication number: 20160182919
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a transmitting device includes, for example, a display, an encoder, and a controller. The display is configured to display a dynamic image. The encoder is configured to encode a dynamic image displayed on the display and generate a dynamic image stream, the dynamic image stream including an IDR frame and a P frame subsequent to the IDR frame and having a bit rate within a first bit rate range. The controller is configured to, when receiving first information instructing transmission of an IDR frame from an external device during the time of transmitting a P frame to the external device, lower the upper limit of the first bit rate range, cause the encoder to generate the IDR frame, transmit the generated IDR frame to the external device via wireless communication, and restart transmitting the P frame generated subsequent to the IDR frame.

  • Publication number: 20060080713
    Abstract: A control unit responds to an operating command from a remote controller received by a light receiving unit to switch the subject of display on an image display unit to image information applied to an input terminal and sends the image information over a network via a communication I/F to a location with which connection has been set up. Upon receiving a command to select a dedicated channel which is, for example, an idle channel from the remote controller, the control unit receives image information transmitted from a location connected by the network through the communication I/F and transfers it to a signal processing unit. The received image information is then displayed on an image display unit.
