METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECEIVING STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DATA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently receive stereoscopic image data including left eye image data and right eye image data.SOLUTION: Information on a screen size is supplied to an external device via a DDC line of an HDMI cable. Incompressible stereoscopic image data including left eye image data and right eye image data for displaying a stereoscopic image, and voice data following an image are received from the external device via a TMDS line of the HDMI cable. The image is displayed on a display section in response to the stereoscopic image data. One frame of the stereoscopic image data is transmitted in a period from one vertical synchronous signal to a next vertical synchronous signal. The left eye image data and the right eye image data in the stereoscopic image data are transmitted in a prescribed order. The number of pixels and the number of lines in the left eye image data and the right eye image data in the stereoscopic image data are made equal to the number of pixels and the number of lines when a normal image which is not the stereoscopic image is transmitted.
