Abstract
A broadcast receiver and a method for processing video data are disclosed. The method for controlling a three dimensional (3D) video display output of a broadcast receiver includes receiving a broadcast signal including a video stream, wherein the video stream includes a plurality of video stream sections having different view points, acquiring view point information indicating corresponding view points of the video stream sections, and controlling a three dimensional (3D) video display output of the video stream according to the obtained view point information.

1-18. (canceled)
A method for transmitting a broadcast signal, the method comprising:
- generating the broadcast signal including a first video sequence and a second video sequence and viewpoint information,
- wherein the first video sequence includes first video sections having frames of left viewpoint for first scenes and second video sections having frames of right viewpoint for second scenes,
- wherein the first video sections and the second video sections are multiplexed in the first video sequence,
- wherein the second video sequence includes third video sections having frames of right viewpoint of the first scenes and fourth video sections having frames of left viewpoint for the second scenes, and
- wherein the third video sections and the fourth video sections are multiplexed in the second video sequence;
- and
- transmitting the broadcast signal;
- wherein the viewpoint information specifies whether viewpoints of the frames correspond to a left viewpoint or a right viewpoint.
A receiver operated in a broadcast system for controlling a stereoscopic video display output, the receiver comprising:
- a tuner for receiving a broadcast signal including a first video sequence and a second video sequence,
- wherein the first video sequence includes first video sections having frames of left viewpoint for first scenes and second video sections having frames of right viewpoint for second scenes,
- wherein the first video sections and the second video sections are multiplexed in the first video sequence,
- wherein the second video sequence includes third video sections having frames of right viewpoint of the first scenes and fourth video sections having frames of left viewpoint for the second scenes, and
- wherein the third video sections and the fourth video sections are multiplexed in the second video sequence;
- a parser for extracting viewpoint information from the broadcast signal, wherein the viewpoint information specifies whether viewpoints of the frames correspond to a left viewpoint or a right viewpoint;
- and
- a display controller for controlling a monoscopic video display output using the first video sequence for a monoscopic view mode.
