Patent ID: 8244093

Claim:
A video signal processing device having a digital video output terminal and an analog video output terminal, comprising: a specification information obtaining unit configured to obtain specification information of a digital monitor connected to said digital video output terminal; an analog specification selecting unit configured to select, based on a user selection operation, a specification information of an analog monitor connected to said analog video output terminal; a specification setting unit configured to set, based on a user setting operation, a priority between said specification information of the digital monitor and said specification information of the analog monitor; a determining unit configured to determine an output resolution of a video signal to be output via at least one of the digital video output terminal and the analog video output terminal; and an output control unit configured to control output of the video signal, at the output resolution, via at least one of the digital video output terminal and the analog video output terminal, wherein when priority is set to the specification information of the digital monitor, the determination unit determines the output resolution of the video signal as a highest resolution included in the specification information of the digital monitor, and the output control unit, while outputting the video signal at the output resolution via the digital video output terminal, outputs the video signal at the output resolution via the analog video output terminal only when the specification information of the analog monitor includes the output resolution, and when priority is set to the specification information of the analog monitor, the determination unit determines the output resolution of the video signal as a highest resolution included in the specification information of the analog monitor, and the output control unit, while outputting the video signal at the output resolution via the analog video output terminal, outputs the video signal at the output resolution via the digital video output terminal only when the specification information of the digital monitor includes the output resolution.
