Patent ID: 8786778

Claim:
A control apparatus of a video processing chip, the control apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a first timing signal corresponding to a first video signal and acquire a second timing signal corresponding to a second video signal; a reference timing generation unit configured to generate, based on the first and second timing signals acquired by the acquisition unit, a reference timing signal; an individual timing generation unit configured to generate, using the reference timing signal, a first processing timing signal related to a timing for video processing of the first video signal and a first output timing signal related to a timing for output of the processed first video signal; and a notification unit configured to notify a second control apparatus of a second video processing chip of the reference timing signal generated by the reference timing generation unit such that the second control apparatus generates a second processing timing signal related to a timing for video processing of the second video signal and generates a second output timing signal related to a timing for the output of the processed second video signal.
