Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes: a signal receiver which receives an image signal; a signal processor which compresses the image signal; a wireless transmitter which transmits the compressed image signal to a display apparatus wirelessly; and a controller which controls the signal processor to raise a compression rate of the image signal according to an increased distance between the wireless transmitter and the display apparatus.

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a signal receiver which receives an image signal;

a signal processor which compresses the image signal;

a wireless transmitter which transmits the compressed image signal to a display apparatus wirelessly; and

a controller which controls the signal processor to raise a compression rate of the image signal according to an increased distance between the wireless transmitter and the display apparatus.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a transmission rate of the image signal decreases as the compression rate increases.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller determines a minimum compression rate of the image signal corresponding to the distance, and controls the compression rate to be the minimum compression rate or above.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller determines the minimum compression rate by comparing a transmission rate of the image signal with a reception rate of the image signal received by the display apparatus.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a storage unit which stores therein a lookup table on the compression rate corresponding to the distance.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a distance determiner which determines the distance.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the wireless transmitter transmits the compressed image signal through IEEE 802.11n.

8. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a signal receiver which receives an image signal;

a signal processor which compresses the image signal;

a wireless transmitter which transmits the compressed image signal to a display apparatus wirelessly; and

a controller which determines a maximum transmission rate of an image signal by comparing a transmission rate of the image signal transmitted to the display apparatus with a reception rate of the image signal received by the display apparatus, and adjusts a compression rate of the image signal based on the maximum transmission rate.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the compression rate decreases as the maximum transmission rate increases.

10. A display apparatus which has a display unit, comprising:

a user input unit which is provided to input a distance from an image processing apparatus supplying an image signal;

a UI (user interface) generator which generates UI information;

a wireless communicator; and

a controller which controls the UI generator to display a distance input window on the display unit if a control signal is received through the user input unit to input the distance, and controls the wireless communicator to transmit the inputted distance to the image processing apparatus.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising a distance determiner which determines the distance.

12. A display system which has a display apparatus having a display unit and an image processing apparatus transmitting an image signal to the display apparatus wirelessly, the display system comprising:
