Transmission apparatus, method of transmitting image data in high dynamic range, reception apparatus, method of receiving image data in high dynamic range, and program

Abstract

A reception apparatus is provided that comprises circuitry configured to transmit over a transmission path to a transmission apparatus information on a gamma correction method for image data that the reception apparatus is able to support. The reception apparatus further receives image video data for displaying an image over the transmission path from the transmission apparatus, the image video data transmitted in accordance with the gamma correction method supported by the reception apparatus; receives information on a gamma correction for the image video data over the transmission path from the transmission apparatus; and based on the information on the gamma correction that is received in the information reception unit, processes the HDR image data that is received in the data reception unit. The information on the gamma correction for the image video data includes an indication of the gamma correction method.
