## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for adapting a video content decoded from elementary streams to the characteristics of a display from at least one type of metadata giving information regarding said elementary streams. Such a method comprises:—obtaining (102) an additional information (HDR DESCR.) indicating the presence of one particular type of metadata;—determining if said video content decoded from elementary streams is display-able on said display (11) from said additional information (HDR DESCR.) and the characteristics of the display (EDID); and—if said video content decoded from elementary streams is determined as being displayable, selecting (105) a process from said additional information and the characteristics of the display and adapting (106) the video content according to the selected process.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-7. (canceled)

### Claim 8

A method for adapting a video content decoded from elementary streams to the characteristics of a display from at least one type of metadata giving information regarding said elementary streams, comprising:
obtaining an additional information indicating the presence of one particular type of metadata;
determining if said video content decoded from elementary streams is displayable on said display from said additional information and the characteristics of the display; and
if said video content decoded from elementary streams is determined as being displayable, selecting a process from said additional information and the characteristics of the display and adapting the video content decoded from elementary streams according to the selected process.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein said additional information also indicates if said at least one particular type of metadata is present within said signal for a particular duration of said elementary streams.

### Claim 10

A device for adapting a video content decoded from elementary streams to the characteristics of a display from at least one type of metadata giving information regarding said elementary streams, wherein the device comprises a processor configured to:
obtain an additional information indicating the presence of one particular type of metadata:
determine if said video content decoded from elementary streams is displayable on said display from said additional information and the characteristics of the display; and
if said video content decoded from elementary streams is determined as being displayable, select a process from said additional information and the characteristics of the display and adapting the video content decoded from elementary streams according to the selected process.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

A computer program product comprising program code instructions to execute the steps of the method for adapting a video content decoded from elementary streams to the characteristics of a display according to claim 8, when said program is executed by a processor.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

A processor readable medium having stored therein instructions for causing a processor to perform at least the steps of the method for adapting a video content decoded from elementary streams to the characteristics of a display according to claim 8.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

A non-transitory storage medium carrying instructions of program code for executing steps of the method for adapting a video content decoded from elementary streams to the characteristics of a display according to claim 8 when said program is executed on a computing device.
