TRANSMISSION DEVICE, TRANSMISSION METHOD, RECEPTION DEVICE, RECEPTION METHOD, AND TRANSMISSION/RECEPTION SYSTEM

摘要

High-quality content reproduction is to be realized.;A transmission clock is supplied from a sink (repeater) device to a source device via a clock signal line. The source device sends content data to the sink (repeater) device via a predetermined number of differential signal lines in synchronization with the transmission clock supplied from the sink (repeater) device. High-quality content reproduction can be performed in the sink (repeater) device, without the use of any additional lines other than the differential signal lines and the clock signal line. For example, upon receipt of a transmission clock supply request from the source device, the sink (repeater) device supplies the transmission clock to the source device.
