Patent ID: 7123305

Claim:
An image processing apparatus, comprising: an acquisition unit operable to acquire image data from an input signal and detect transmission information from the acquired image data; a decoding unit operable to decode the acquired image data, and extract a transmission error; and a setting unit operable to set a signal processing parameter based on the transmission information and the transmission error and to control processing of the acquired image data on the basis of the signal processing parameter to enable an image or images corresponding thereto to be displayed on the display with optimum quality, in which the transmission information includes transmission mode information which is indicative of a modulation system, and in which the setting unit is operable to set the signal processing parameter in accordance with the transmission mode information and a number of transmission errors such that a first signal processing parameter having a first content is set when a first modulation system is utilized and there are few transmission errors, and such that a second signal processing parameter having a second content is set when a second modulation system different from the first modulation system is utilized and there are many transmission errors.
