<p>The present invention is capable of addressing the need to transmit 3-D image data via a digital interface. The original version of an HDMI transmission unit (206A) is HDMI1.3. A CPU (211A), when in a power-on state and upon confirming the connection of a monitor device (TV) to an HPD line, determines the necessity of an update, and performs update processing if the received image data is 3-D image data and the monitor device is 3-D compatible. An update manager (271) connects to a download server (243), downloads, from the download server (243), digital interface control software for updating, and installs said software in an HDMI controller (273). Thereby, the version of the HDMI transmission unit (206A) is updated to HDMI1.4, and handling of 3-D image data becomes possible.</p> |
