Claim Text:
1. A control apparatus, comprising: a reproduction unit configured to reproduce a plurality of pieces of second moving image data of which at least one of a bit rate, a frame rate, and resolution has been converted from that of first moving image data so that the at least one of the bit rate, the frame rate, and the resolution is reduced, the second moving image data being stored in a storage unit capable of storing the plurality of pieces of second moving image data of which at least one of a bit rate, a frame rate, and resolution has been converted from that of a first moving image data; a generation unit configured to, in a case where a predetermined piece of second moving image data is selected from the plurality of pieces of second moving image data stored in the storage unit, generate a reproduction instruction to reproduce the first moving image data corresponding to the predetermined piece of second moving image data; a communication unit configured to transmit the reproduction instruction generated by the generation unit to a reproduction control device; and a control unit configured to determine whether information indicating a location where the first moving image corresponding to the predetermined piece of second moving image is recorded is stored in the storage unit, in a case where the predetermined piece of second moving image data is selected from the plurality of pieces of second moving image data stored in the storage unit, wherein in a case where the information is stored in the storage unit, the control unit is configured to cause the generation unit to generate the reproduction instruction to reproduce the first moving image corresponding to the predetermined piece of second moving image, and wherein in a case where the information is not stored in the storage unit, the control unit is configured not to cause the generation unit to generate the reproduction instruction to reproduce the first moving image corresponding to the predetermined piece of second moving image but to cause the reproduction unit to reproduce the predetermined piece of second moving image data.
