Abstract
A transmitting apparatus including circuitry configured to generate caption data corresponding to content data and having elements defined in Extensible Markup Language (XML), and output the content data and the generated caption data to a reproducing device.
Claims20
A reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to
- receive content data and caption data, the caption data corresponding to the content data,
- generate a content video signal based on the content data,
- generate caption information based on the caption data,
- receive a first user setting to select at least one of a caption display mode or caption character edge type,
- retain the first user setting at least in a non-volatile memory region,
- update the caption information based on the first user setting,
- generate a caption video signal according to the updated caption information,
- superimpose the caption video signal on the content video signal and reproduce the content video signal and the superimposed caption video signal,
- during reproduction of the content video signal, receive a second user setting to select at least one of the caption display mode and the caption character edge type,
- retain the second user setting at least in a volatile memory region, and
- update the caption information based on the second user setting.
