Abstract
A stereoscopic image processing apparatus for processing a stereoscopic image signal for a stereoscopic image which is composed of a plurality of images is arranged to receive a plurality of image signals for the plurality of images, to time-base-compress the image signals received, to form a composite image signal by combining the time-base-compressed image signals, to multiplex an information signal for information which is other than images but corresponds to the contents of the plurality of images, and to output the composite image signal to a transmission route. The arrangement enables the apparatus to combine the plurality of image signals for the images forming the stereoscopic image and to transmit the composite image signal together with the information signal for information which is other than images but corresponds to the content of the plurality of images.
