Abstract
A picture outputting apparatus for producing a display picture by synthesis and outputting the synthesized picture to a display unit. The picture outputting apparatus includes a decoding unitfor decoding input encoded moving picture data, a data processing unitfor generating the first display area information for displaying a first display picture represented by the decoded moving picture data to an optional size in a specified location on the display unit, generating a second display picture of a picture format suited to the display unit based on the picture data contained in the input data, generating the second display area information for displaying the second display picture to an optional size in a specified location on the display unit, generating synthesizing parameters, determining the state of synthesis, in synthesizing a display picture, based on the first display area information and the second display area information, for adding the synthesizing parameter to the second display picture, and a synthesizing outputting unit for synthesizing the first and second display pictures, based on the synthesizing parameters, to output a display picture resulting from the synthesis to the display unit.
