Abstract

See full text

A sink apparatus receives stream data outputted from a source apparatus connected to a predetermined network. When the source apparatus or an other apparatus connected to the network transmits a command to configure a data input section of the sink apparatus to input data outputted from the source apparatus, data are prepared to indicate that a configuration of the data input section is at least temporarily disabled as a response from the sink apparatus. When the apparatus that transmitted the command receives the data indicating that the configuration is at least temporarily disabled corresponding processing may be executed. When stream data are transmitted through a network it can be easily determined by an other apparatus on the network whether the sink apparatus is ready to input data.
