Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain moving image data having a pixel array of a Bayer structure; a transmission unit configured to transmit the moving image data obtained by the obtaining unit in accordance with a transmission method of transmitting moving image data having a pixel array different from the Bayer structure and auxiliary data indicating transparency of a plurality of pieces of color data included in the moving image data of the different pixel array by using a plurality of channels; and a generation unit configured to generate the moving image data of the different pixel array from the moving image data obtained by the obtaining unit; a setting unit configured to set an one of a plurality of modes including a first mode to transmit the moving image data having the pixel array of the Bayer structure and a second mode to transmit the moving image data of the different pixel array; and a control unit configured to control the transmission unit, wherein the control unit controls, in the first mode, the transmission unit to transmit image data of predetermined one of a plurality of colors in the moving image data obtained by the obtaining unit where the number of pixels corresponding to the predetermined color is larger than that of other color of the plurality of colors by using a channel for transmitting the auxiliary data and image data of a color other than the predetermined color in the moving image data obtained by the obtaining unit by using a channel other than the channel for the auxiliary data, and controls, in the second mode, the transmission unit to transmit the moving image data having the different pixel array generated by the generation unit and auxiliary data relating to the moving image data having the different pixel array by using the plurality of channels.
