Abstract

A method is provided for transmitting and receiving image data having plural pixel data. The method comprises the step of producing image control data for controlling the image data to be transmitted. The plural pixel data is represented by n color components, and pixel data represented by n+m color components is produced for sequential transmission on the basis of the pixel data represented by the n color components. The image control data are transmitted for a period of time when the pixel data represented by the n color components are not provided in the period of time when pixel represented by n+m color components are transmitted. An image process is executed for either the pixel data represented by the n color components or the pixel data represented by the n+m color components on the basis of the image control data.
