An information processing apparatus is disclosed that comprises a display device, first and a second display controllers, and a switch. The first display controller converts an externally input first video signal into a second video signal which can be displayed on the display device. The second display controller converts the first video signal into a third video signal which can be displayed on the display device. The switch switches between a first path for outputting the second video signal converted by the first display controller to the display device, and a second path for outputting the third video signal converted by the second display controller to the display device.
