Delivery apparatus and delivery method

A display device is provided that comprising circuitry configured to transmit, to a reproduction device, an extended display identification data (EDID) that includes the display information representing a performance of the display device. The circuitry further receives HDR video data from the reproduction device including HDR information that includes brightness characteristic information in frame data when the display information includes information representing a display performance of the HDR video, contains the EDID containing information of a 4k resolution or higher, displays an image of the received HDR video data in accordance with brightness designated by the HDR information, and adjusts a brightness of the image of the received HDR video data to a brightness capability for the display of the image.

Reproduction device, reproduction method, and recording medium

An audio reproduction with a realistic feeling is achieved while suppressing incongruity and discomfort given to a user. The information processing device includes an acquisition section that acquires content data including a plurality of objects, an execution timing decision section that decides an execution timing for each of the objects, a rendering processing section that renders each of the objects on the basis of line-of-sight information of a user that has been input immediately before the execution timing of rendering each of the objects, and an output synthesis section that synthesizes output data for every object that has been generated by the rendering.

Information processing device and information processing method

Provided is a generation unit that generates an identification region map indicating whether or not each divided object data is visible from each position in a three-dimensional space by using information regarding orientation of a normal vector dividing an object in the three-dimensional space and information regarding an outline of the object.

Information processing device and information processing method for point cloud data compression

Provided is an information processing device includes a receiving unit that receives a segment file having a plurality of segments and a setting file in which a group to which the segment file belongs is set, and an extraction unit that extracts one or more MP4 samples included in a segment of the segment file and adds attribute information including a reproduction start time of the MP4 sample to the MP4 sample. The information processing device further includes a determination unit that determines a switching position at which the segment file belonging to the group after switching is output in units of the MP4 samples on the basis of an accepted switching operation of the group and the attribute information, and an output unit that outputs an output signal generated from the segment file belonging to the group after the switching from the switching position to an output device.

The present technology relates to a display device that enables content having a wide dynamic range of brightness to be displayed with an appropriate brightness from a reproduction device. The display comprises circuitry configured to store display information related to high dynamic range (HDR) video and to transmit to the reproduction device an extended display identification data that includes display information representing a performance of the display device. The display device includes a monitor configured to display an image of the HDR video in accordance with brightness designated by HDR information if the monitor is capable of displaying the designated brightness and to adjust a brightness of the image of the HDR video to a brightness capability of the monitor if the monitor is not capable of displaying the designated brightness.

Reproduction device reproduction method, and recording medium

There are provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program. The information processing apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate a management file which stores information regarding object selection information for selecting object audio data in accordance with a display state of an image, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the management file.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus and a file generation apparatus that make it possible to appropriately reproduce a BV content. An image processing apparatus includes: a file acquisition unit that acquires a file having a management region where information for management of a 3D object content is stored and a data region where a track in which streams included in the 3D object content are stored is stored, group information for selection, from a plurality of the streams included in the 3D object content, of the stream appropriate for reproduction of the 3D object content being stored in the management region; and a file processor that selects a plurality of the streams to be used for reproduction of the 3D object content on the basis of the group information. The present technology is applicable to a client apparatus.

Image processing apparatus and file generation apparatus

There are provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program. The information processing apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate a content file including object selection information for selecting object audio data in accordance with a display state of an image, in which the generating unit stores the object selection information in a metadata file included in the content file.

The present technology relates to a reproduction device, a reproduction method, and a recording medium that enable content having a wide dynamic range of brightness to be displayed with an appropriate brightness. A recording medium, on which the reproduction device of one aspect of the present technology performs reproduction, records coded data of an extended video that is a video having a second brightness range that is wider than a first brightness range, brightness characteristic information that represents a brightness characteristic of the extended video, and brightness conversion definition information used when performing a brightness conversion of the extended video to a standard video that is a video having the first brightness range. The reproduction device decodes the coded data and converts the extended video obtained by decoding the coded data to the standard video on the basis of the brightness conversion definition information.

A playback device of the present disclosure includes a processing unit and a control unit. When having acquired identification information, the control unit calculates, on a playback time axis and based on the acquired identification information, a first point-of-time on the playback time axis, the first point-of-time being a point-of-time turning back a current point-of-time on the playback time axis by a first duration-of-time satisfying a first predetermined condition, and newly sets the calculated first point-of-time in the processing unit. The processing unit generates a video in which frames from the first point-of-time are arranged in chronological order, based on at least a part of acquired 6DoF content, a position and an orientation of a set viewpoint, and the first point-of-time newly set by the control unit.
