Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for processing three-dimensional (3D or 3-D) or pseudo-3D media content. The programming includes closed caption (CC) information that includes caption data and a location identifier that specifies a location for the caption data within the 3D programming. The programming information is processed to render the caption data at the specified location within the media content and to present the programming on the display. By encoding location identification information into the three-dimensional media content, a high level of configurability can be provided and the 3D experience can be preserved while captions are displayed.
