Abstract
The appearance of a display image of image content is made appropriate without particular user operation irrespective of viewing environment changes. A reception unit receives image content. A processing unit performs image quality adjustment processing on the received image content on the basis of metadata for image quality adjustment depending on viewing environment information. For example, the reception unit transmits the viewing environment information to a server and receives the metadata from the server. Further, for example, a metadata generation unit configured to generate the metadata on the basis of the viewing environment information is provided.
