Abstract
A PC includes a processing section and a storage section. The processing section controls operation of the PC, based on connection request data for requesting a connection. The connection request data is transmitted from a receiving device. The storage section stores video to be transmitted to the receiving device. When a connection request data recognizing section of the processing section recognizes the connection request data, a connection is established between the PC and the receiving device that transmitted the connection request data, and a transmission control section transmits a video data file read by a file handling section. In the PC, the processing section includes the connection request data recognizing section and the file handling section. Therefore, even if no instruction is made from the side of the receiving device to the PC by using a remote control, it is possible to transmit video data from the PC to the receiving device, and to reproduce the video data. In addition, the PC can transmit the video data by a transmitting scheme that is in accordance with a function of the receiving device.
