Video receiving apparatus and video receiving method

摘要

A video receiving apparatus including an input terminal to receive pixel-based video data transmitted with pixel clock synchronized with the video data is provided. The video receiving apparatus includes a separation unit (44a), an information acquisition unit (36a), and a determination unit (36b). The separation unit is configured to separate auxiliary data added to the video data from the video data obtained at the input terminal. The information acquisition unit is configured to acquire information on the number of horizontal pixels and the number of vertical pixels for the input video data from the auxiliary data separated at the separation unit. The determination unit (36b) is configured to determine a type of the input video data based on the information on the number of horizontal pixels and the number of vertical pixels that is obtained at the information acquisition unit (36a).
