A communication apparatus connected to one or more apparatuses via an interface having at least a signal channel unidirectionally transmitting a baseband signal and a bidirectional control channel used for control is provided. The communication apparatus includes an equipment information obtaining unit, a selection unit, and an instruction unit. The equipment information obtaining unit obtains equipment information about each of the one or more apparatuses via the interface, containing at least capable/incapable information representing whether the apparatus is capable of performing conversion processing for converting a format of the signal. The selection unit selects a single apparatus from the communication apparatus and the one or more apparatuses capable of performing the conversion processing, as an executing apparatus in which the conversion processing should be executed. The instruction units instructs the executing apparatus to execute the conversion processing or prohibit the conversion processing via the control channel. |
