Abstract
A proper and efficient process is possible in a reception side. A container of a predetermined format including a video stream of a single view for the two-dimensional image display and video streams of a plurality of views for the three-dimensional image display in a time division manner is transmitted. For example, the container corresponds to containers of variable formats such as MP4 which is used in the delivery through the Internet, in addition to a transport stream (MPEG-2 TS) adopted in a digital broadcasting standard. The configuration information of a video stream of each view included in the container is inserted in the container.
Claims16
A transmission device comprising:
- a transmission unit that transmits a container of a predetermined format in which a video stream of a single view for a two-dimensional image display and video streams of a plurality of views for a three-dimensional image display are included in a time division manner;
- and
- a configuration information insertion unit that inserts configuration information of a video stream of each view included in the container, in the container.
A transmission method comprising:
- a transmission step of transmitting a container of a predetermined format in which a video stream of a single view for a two-dimensional image display and video streams of a plurality of views for a three-dimensional image display are included in a time division manner;
- and
- a configuration information insertion step of inserting configuration information of a video stream of each view included in the container, in the container.
A reception device comprising:
- a reception unit that receives a container of a predetermined format in which a video stream of a single view for a two-dimensional image display and video streams of a plurality of views for a three-dimensional image display are included in a time division manner,
- wherein configuration information of a video stream of each view included in the container is inserted in the container, and
- wherein the reception device further includes an image data acquisition unit that decodes a video stream of each view to acquire image data, based on the configuration information, from the container.
A reception method comprising:
- a reception step of receiving a container of a predetermined format in which a video stream of a single view for a two-dimensional image display and video streams of a plurality of views for a three-dimensional image display are included in a time division manner,
- wherein configuration information of a video stream of each view included in the container is inserted in the container, and
- wherein the reception method further includes an image data acquisition step of decoding a video stream of each view to acquire image data, based on the configuration information, from the container.
