1. A method for processing signals to accommodate reproduction by an alternative display terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a conversion device, a video signal from a mobile terminal device;
processing, by the conversion device, the video signal to provide a converted video signal for use by the alternative display terminal, wherein the processing by the conversion device includes converting a signal format to a different format for output to the alternative display terminal, wherein the converted video signal provided by the conversion device comprises a high definition television (HDTV) digital signal; and
providing the converted video signal from the conversion device to the alternative display terminal through a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) to accommodate displaying the video content by the alternative display terminal.

Abstract
Video signals for a mobile terminal are converted to accommodate reproduction by an alternative display terminal. The video signal is processed to provide a converted video signal appropriate for an alternative display terminal that is separate from the mobile terminal. This converted video signal is then provided for the alternative display terminal to accommodate the corresponding video display on a screen provided by the alternative (e.g., external) display terminal.
