A digital broadcast receiving apparatus capable of executing a function with a higher added value is provided. A broadcast receiving apparatus configured to receive contents includes: a receiving unit configured to receive the contents; an interface via which the contents received by the receiving unit is outputted; a control unit configured to control an output state of the contents from the interface. In this case, the control unit is configured to determine the output state of the contents from the interface in accordance with a combination of control information indicating a copy control state of the contents, control information for specifying necessity or not of protection when to output the contents, information indicating resolution of video of the contents, and information indicating transmission characteristics of video of the contents, which are received by the receiving unit together with the contents.

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a broadcast signal so as to adjust a colour range of content. The method for transmitting a broadcast signal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: encoding video data and signalling information including metadata with respect to the gamut of the video data; generating a broadcast signal including the encoded video data and signalling information; and transmitting the generated broadcast signal.

Embodiments of systems and methods for the sending, delivery and receiving of faxes are disclosed herein. In particular, certain embodiments include a fax connector that may be deployed at a user's site, and a faxing system that may be deployed remotely from the user's site. The fax connector can be accessed at the user's site over a computer based network in order to perform functions associated with faxing, including sending, receiving and obtaining status on faxes. The fax connector deployed at the user's site communicates with the remotely deployed faxing system to send, receive, obtain status on, or perform other functions associated with, faxing.

A data transmission method, a data loading device, a data parsing device, and a data transmission system are described herein. The methods include acquiring original video data, acquiring data to be transmitted, processing the original video data according to the data to be transmitted to obtain target video data, and displaying the target video data and the original video data. The methods may further include after displaying the target video data and the original video data, collecting the displayed target video data and original video data, parsing the original video data and the target video data to obtain the data to be transmitted.

The present invention relates to a video signal transmission device and the like that can support a variety of system specifications. The device includes a packer unit, an encoder unit, and a serializer. The packer unit generates, from a video signal of one or more pixels, a plurality of block signals having a packet configuration of size corresponding to the number of pixels and the number of tone bits of a color signal constituting a video signal. At this time, a control signal including a pulse having a width corresponding to the number of pixels and the number of tone bits is also generated. The encoder unit applies encoding processing having encoding efficiencies that are different between a first period and a second period of a control signal that are distinguished depending on existence or non-existence of a pulse to the block signals.
