There is provided a video output apparatus which inputs a video content that can have at least three different resolutions. A format detector (112) detects an alteration of a resolution of a video content. A scaling processor (105) scales up the video content at a set scale ratio. Upon detection of an alteration of the resolution, the format detector (112) selects one of a plurality of supplemental video pictures, which are prepared in advance in a memory (113), in accordance with the degree of decrease of the resolution after the alteration to that before the alteration. An image composition unit (106) controls a display unit (110) to display the supplemental video picture together with a video associated with the video content via a video display unit (108). Even when the resolution decreases considerably, a decrease in user's convenience can be suppressed. |
