PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute high speed two-way communication while keeping the interchangeability in a communication interface such as the HDMI(R). SOLUTION: An HDMI(R) source 53 is provided with a SW 101 for selecting first and second data or third data other than the first and second data and supplying the selected data to a conversion section 210, and a decoding section 102 for receiving differential signals transmitted from an HDMI(R) sink 61 through a TMDS channel and decoding the signals into fourth data being original data. The HDMI(R) sink 61 is provided with a SW 131 for selecting data outputted from a decoding section 22 as the first and second data or the third data and outputting the selected data, and a conversion section 132 for converting the fourth data to be transmitted to the HDMI(R) source 53 into differential signals and transmits the differential signals through the TMDS channel. The technology above can be applied to, e.g. HDMI (R) interfaces. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
