A reproduction device includes: an HDMI transmitter that detects a power state of a display device; a first communication module that establishes communication with a terminal device that is externally located, when the HDMI transmitter does not detect that the display device is in a power-on state; and a controller that performs first settings with the terminal device, when the communication is established between the terminal device and the first communication module, the first settings being settings relating to the reproduction device.

Reproduction device, reproduction device control method, and recording medium

A remote control system includes a main body apparatus and a remote controller. A motion sensor included in the remote controller detects an amount of change in posture of the remote controller. A user interface creator included in the main body apparatus creates a user interface image including a pointer. The user interface creator: determines virtual coordinates of the pointer based on the amount of change in posture; when the virtual coordinates of the pointer are present in a movable region, displays the pointer at a position of the virtual coordinates; when the virtual coordinates of the pointer are present outside the movable region, displays the pointer at a position in the movable region closest to the virtual coordinates; and when the virtual coordinates of the pointer have reached a boundary of a clip region, limits the virtual coordinates of the pointer within the clip region.

Remote control system and electronic device

A high resolution video signal is divided by video division means into a main signal and a sub signal, and the main signal and the sub signal are MPEG-encoded. The stream of the main signal and the stream of the sub signal are divided into 1 GPO or more of frames. First interleave blocks each including 1 GOP or more of the stream of the main signal and second interleave blocks each including 1 GOP or more of the stream of the sub signal are recorded on an optical disk. A high resolution reproduction apparatus reproduces both the first and second interleave blocks to obtain a high resolution video output. A non-high quality picture reproduction apparatus reproduces only the first or second interleave blocks to obtain a standard resolution video output.

Optical disk for high resolution and general video recording, optical disk reproduction apparatus, optical disk recording apparatus, and reproduction control information generation apparatus

The present invention has an objective of providing an optical disk having a high resolution picture and a system for reproducing data on the optical disk, which are compatible with a conventional system for reproducing an ordinary resolution picture. A high resolution signal is divided into a main signal and a sub signal by picture division means and MPEG-encoded. The main signal and the sub signal are divided into frames each having 1 GOP or more. The resultant first interleave blockand second interleave blockare recorded alternately on an optical disk. A high resolution reproduction apparatus reproduced both the first and second interleave blocks, so that a high resolution picture is obtained. A non-high resolution reproduction apparatus reproduces only the first or second interleave block, so that an ordinary resolution picture.

Optical disk for high resolution and three-dimensional video recording, optical disk reproduction apparatus and optical disk recording apparatus

A high resolution video signal is divided by video division means into a main signal and a sub signal, and the main signal and the sub signal are MPEG-encoded. The stream of the main signal and the stream of the sub signal are divided into 1 GOP or more of frames. First interleave blocks each including 1 GOP or more of the stream of the main signal and second interleave blocks each including 1 GOP or more of the stream of the sub signal are recorded on an optical disk. A high resolution reproduction apparatus reproduces both the first and second interleave blocks to obtain a high resolution video output. A non-high quality picture reproduction apparatus reproduces only the first or second interleave blocks to obtain a standard resolution video output.

A data processing apparatus includes: a receiving section for receiving a signal concerning program data; a determination section for determining a type of a storage medium having been loaded; a recording processing section for recording program data obtained from the signal onto the storage medium, via one of a stream recording process and an encode recording process a selection section for selecting one of the recording processes in accordance with a type of the storage medium; and a calculation section for, in accordance with the selected recording process, selecting one of: a first remaining amount calculation process based on a remaining capacity of the storage medium and on a transmission rate of the program data; and a second remaining amount calculation process based on an encoding rate, and for calculating a remaining duration for which it is possible to perform recording on the storage medium.

Data processing apparatus

A noise reduction device includes a two-dimensional noise reducing unit for reducing noise by arithmetic processing within an image, a three-dimensional noise reducing unit for receiving the video signal from the two-dimensional noise reducing unit and reducing noise by arithmetic processing between images, a first noise reduction intensity setting unit for setting noise reduction intensity of the two-dimensional noise reducing unit, and a second noise reduction intensity setting unit for setting noise reduction intensity of the three-dimensional noise reducing unit. The second noise reduction intensity setting unit sets the noise reduction intensity of the three-dimensional noise reducing unit, so that the noise reduction intensity of the three-dimensional noise reducing unit becomes lower as the noise reduction intensity of the two-dimensional noise reducing unit becomes higher.

Noise reduction device and noise reduction method of compression coded image

The present invention has an objective of realizing compatibility of an optical disk having a high resolution video signal recorded thereon and a system for reproducing the optical disk, with a conventional system for producing a standard resolution video signal. A high resolution video signal is divided by video division means into a main signal and a sub signal, and the main signal and the sub signal are MPEG-encoded. The stream of the main signal and the stream of the sub signal are divided into 1 GOP or more of frames. First interleave blockseach including 1 GOP or more of the stream of the main signal and second interleave blockseach including 1 GOP or more of the stream of the sub signal are recorded on an optical disk. A high resolution reproduction apparatus reproduces both the first and second interleave blocks to obtain a high resolution video output. A non-high quality picture reproduction apparatus reproduces only the first or second interleave blocks to obtain a standard resolution video output.
