An image processing apparatus and a method for connecting hdmi ethernet channel thereof

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes an interface unit connected to source devices through HDMI Ethernet Channels (HEC). A HEC bandwidth detection unit detects the HEC bandwidth used in the source devices. A bandwidth comparison unit compares the detected HEC bandwidth with a first critical value set on the basis of an upstream bandwidth capacity of an image processing apparatus. A control unit adjusts the connection to at least one of the source devices based on the comparison result output by the bandwidth comparison unit.
