Abstract:
1. A communication apparatus, comprising: a transmitting unit that transmits video data to an external apparatus via a first transmission line; a receiving unit that receives a command from the external apparatus via a second transmission line; a detection unit that detects a first communication error relating to the first transmission line and a second communication error relating to the second transmission line; and a control unit that resets the transmitting unit without resetting the receiving unit if the first communication error is detected and the second communication error is not detected, wherein the control unit resets the receiving unit without resetting the transmitting unit if the second communication error is detected and the first communication error is not detected, wherein the second transmission line is used for communicating with the external apparatus according to CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol, and the detection unit does not detect the second communication error if a logical address is not acquired via the second transmission line.
