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

A reception apparatus comprising:

• a data reception unit that receives image data in a high dynamic range for displaying an image in the high dynamic range from an external apparatus over a transmission path;
• an information reception unit that receives information on a transmission method for and/or information on gamma correction for the image data in the high dynamic range that is received in the data reception unit, from the external apparatus;
• and
• a data processing unit that, based on the information on the transmission method and/or the information on the gamma correction that are received in the information reception unit, processes the image data in the high dynamic range that is received in the data reception unit.

A method of receiving image data in a high dynamic range, comprising:

• a data reception step of enabling a data reception unit to receive the image data in the high dynamic range from an external apparatus over a transmission path;
• an information reception step of receiving information on a transmission method for and/or information on gamma correction for the image data in the high dynamic range that is received in the data reception step, from the external apparatus;
• and
• a data processing step of processing the image data in the high dynamic range that is received in the data reception step, based on the information on the transmission method for and/or the information on the gamma correction that are received in the information reception step.

A program for causing a computer to function as:

• data reception means that receives image data in a high dynamic range for displaying an image in the high dynamic range from an external apparatus over a transmission path;
• information reception means that receives information on a transmission method for and/or information on gamma correction for the image data in the high dynamic range that is received in the data reception unit, from the external apparatus;
• and
• data processing means that processes the image data in the high dynamic range that is received in the data reception means, based on the information on the transmission method and/or the information on the gamma correction that are received in the information reception means.
