Patent ID: 8553150

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 image quality adjustment value for each of the plurality of input terminals, according to a user operation, wherein the input quality adjustment value 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 image quality adjustment value for each of the plurality of output terminals, according to a user operation, wherein the output quality adjustment value for each of the plurality of output terminals is stored in the memory of the image processing apparatus; a selecting section that selects 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 quality adjustment value and the output quality adjustment value from the memory for the selected input and output terminals, respectively; an image quality adjustment value calculating section that adds together the selected input image quality adjustment value set for the selected input terminal and the selected output image quality adjustment value set for the selected output terminal and thereby calculates a processing image quality adjustment value; an image processing section that adjusts image data inputted from the selected input terminals which is selected by the selection section according to the processing image quality adjustment value and outputs the adjusted image data from the selected output terminal which is selected by the selecting section.
