Patent ID: 8654249

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: a plurality of input terminals to which a plurality of image transmitting apparatuses that transmit image data can be connected; a plurality of output terminals to which a plurality of image receiving apparatuses that receive image data can be connected; an input setting section that sets an input set resolution for each of the plurality of input terminals, according to a user operation, wherein the input set resolution for each of the plurality of input terminals is stored in a memory of the image processing apparatus; an output setting section that sets an output set resolution for each of the plurality of output terminals, according to a user operation, wherein the output set resolution for each of the plurality of output terminals is stored in the memory of the image processing apparatus; a selecting section that selects a combination of one of the input terminals to which image data is to be inputted and one of the output terminals from which the image data is to be outputted according to a user operation, and responsive to the same user operation selects the input set resolution and the output set resolution from the memory for the selected input and output terminals, respectively; a resolution determining section that determines, for the selected combination of an input terminal and an output terminal, the selected input set resolution set for the input terminal to be a processing resolution, when the selected output set resolution of the output terminal is set to “Source”; and ignores the input set resolution set for the input terminal and determines the output set resolution set for the output terminal to be a processing resolution, when the output set resolution of the output terminal is set to other than “Source”; and an image processing section that converts image data inputted from the selected input terminals which is selected by the selection section according to the processing resolution and outputs the converted image data from the selected output terminal which is selected by the selecting section.
