Abstract:
1. A moving image reproducing apparatus that is connected with a display device via a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) to communicate with the same so that moving image information and audio information recorded on a recording medium are read, reproduced and delivered to the display device, the apparatus comprising: an error detecting unit that detects a communication error in a display data channel (DDC); an error information generating unit that generates error information indicating that the communication error occurred in the DDC if the communication error in the DDC is detected by the error detecting unit; an extended display identification data (EDID) obtaining unit that obtains EDID from the display device; a first code generating unit that generates a first error code if the communication error in the DDC is detected by the error detecting unit while the EDID is being obtained by the EDID obtaining unit; an error information output unit that delivers the error information and information on the first error code generated by the first code generating unit to the display device via a transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) channel; a screen generating unit that generates, for each first error code generated by the first code generating unit, error screen information corresponding to that each first error code; and an error display control unit that delivers the error screen information via the TMDS channel for the display device to display.
