Image processing apparatus

Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes generating means for generating image data, transmitting means for transmitting predetermined image data to an external device, the predetermined image data being generated by performing a predetermined process for pixel range conversion on the image data, and control means for performing control such that predetermined data relating to the predetermined image data generated by the predetermined process and the predetermined image data are transmitted to the external device.

1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
 a communication unit that is used for connecting with an external apparatus; and   a control unit that generates a second image by using a first image so that a frame rate of the second image is a frame rate defined by the specific communication standard, wherein a frame rate of the first image is a first frame rate, the frame rate of the second image is a second frame rate,   wherein the control unit controls a process for transmitting the second image to the external device and controls a process for transmitting predetermined data relating to the second image to the external device, and   wherein the predetermined data includes information indicating the first frame rate.   
     
     
         2 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data includes information indicating a name of a file relating to the second image. 
     
     
         3 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data includes information indicating a time code relating to each frame included in the second image. 
     
     
         4 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising an image sensor that converts an optical image to analog data, wherein the first image is obtained by using the image sensor. 
     
     
         5 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit reads an image from a recording medium, wherein the first image is an image read by the control unit. 
     
     
         6 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit generates the second image by using information relating to a display capability of the external device. 
     
     
         7 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the information relating to a display capability of the external device is at least one of Extended display identification data (EDID) and Enhanced Extended display identification data (E-EDID). 
     
     
         8 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data includes information indicating that a format of the first image is an interlaced format or a progressive format. 
     
     
         9 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls a process for transmitting the predetermined data to the external device according to Ethernet. 
     
     
         10 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls a process for transmitting the predetermined data to the external device according to High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). 
     
     
         11 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data is used for causing the external device to edit the second image transmitted from the image processing apparatus. 
     
     
         12 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined data is used for causing the external device to generate the first image from the second image. 
     
     
         13 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the image processing apparatus includes a camera. 
     
     
         14 . A control method for controlling an image processing apparatus connecting with an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
 generating a second image by using a first image so that a frame rate of the second image is a frame rate defined by the specific communication standard, wherein a frame rate of the first image is a first frame rate, the frame rate of the second image is a second frame rate;   transmitting the second image to the external device; and   transmitting predetermined data relating to the second image to the external device,   wherein the predetermined data includes information indicating the first frame rate.
