Video reproducing apparatus, video display system and record medium

A video reproducing apparatus comprising:

• a data acquiring unit which acquires a plurality of angle video data which is equal or less than an amount of the angle video data, relative display position information corresponding to the angle video data, and selection order information from a recording unit which records the plurality of angle video data corresponding to a plurality of angle videos taken at a plurality of taking angles at which a taken object is taken from different angles one another and having relativity with one another, which records the relative display position information indicating a relative display position of each angle video in consideration of each taking angle, which records the selection order information indicating which angle video among other plurality of angle videos should be reproduced simultaneously on a priority basis for each angle video in consideration of each taking angle, the priority basis indicating a proximity closeness value of each angle video;
• a video selection unit which allows a user to select the plurality of angle videos reproduced simultaneously among the plurality of angle videos on a selection screen;
• a video signal output unit which outputs a plurality of angle video signals corresponding to the selected plurality of angle videos to a display unit having a plurality of display devices surrounding a central display device;
• and
• an arrangement determining unit which determines display position arrangement of the plurality of angle videos based on the relative display position information;
• wherein the video selection unit displays a candidate video of a remaining angle video based on the selection order information of each of the selected angle videos when the user selects a part of the plurality of angle videos,
• the video signal output unit respectively outputting
• i) a reference angle video on the central display device, the reference angle video being taken from a reference location, and
• ii) plural other angle videos on the plural display devices surrounding the central display device, each of the plural other angle videos being displayed based on the priority basis as determined by the proximity closeness value of each angle video from the selection order information.

A video reproducing apparatus comprising:

• a data acquiring unit which acquires a plurality of angle video data which is equal or less than an amount of the angle video data, relative display position information corresponding to the angle video data, and a sequence file with selection order information from a recording unit which records the plurality of angle video data corresponding to a plurality of angle videos taken at a plurality of taking angles at which a taken object is taken from different angles one another and having relativity with one another, which records the relative display position information indicating a relative display position of each angle video in consideration of each taking angle, and which records the sequence file by which combinations of the plurality of angle videos reproduced simultaneously are switched sequentially during reproduction, and which further records the selection order information indicating which angle video should be reproduced simultaneously on a priority basis among the other plurality of angle videos for each of the angle videos in consideration of each taking angle, the priority basis indicating a proximity closeness value of each angle video;
• a video signal output unit which outputs a plurality of angle video signals corresponding to the plurality of angle videos to a display unit, having a plurality of display devices surrounding a central display device, based on the plurality of angle video data and the sequence file;
• and
• an arrangement determining unit which determines display position arrangement of the plurality of angle videos per combination of the plurality of angle videos switched sequentially based on the relative display position information and the sequence file,
• the video signal output unit respectively outputting
• i) a reference angle video on the central display device, the reference angle video being taken from a reference location, and
• ii) plural other angle videos on the plural display devices surrounding the central display device, each of the plural other angle videos being displayed based on the priority basis as determined by the proximity closeness value of each angle video from the selection order information.
