Abstract:
1. A transmitting apparatus comprising a processor configured to control: a data transmitting section that transmits stereo image data for displaying a stereoscopic image, to an external device via a transmission path; a transmission-mode-information receiving section that receives transmission mode information transmitted from the external device via the transmission path, the transmission mode information indicating transmission modes for stereo image data that can be supported by the external device; a transmission mode selecting section that selects a transmission mode as a transmission mode for the stereo image data transmitted by the data transmitting section, from among the transmission modes for stereo image data that can be supported by the external device, on the basis of the transmission mode information received by the transmission-mode-information receiving section; and a transmission-mode-information transmitting section that transmits the selected transmission mode for stereo image data with the stereo image data transmitted by the data transmitting section, to the external device via the transmission path, wherein the data transmitting section transmits the stereo image data to the external device by a plurality of channels that are in the transmission path, and inserts the selected transmission mode in a blanking period of the stereo image data.
