According to one embodiment, an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a plurality of probe ports and processing circuitry. An ultrasound probe including transmission circuitry to drive transducers that generate ultrasound is connectible to each of the plurality of probe ports. The processing circuitry generates a control signal for the transmission circuitry or a drive signal to drive the transmission circuitry, according to a position of one of the probe ports to which the ultrasound probe is connected.
