Abstract
A controller () designates whether images are integrated or not and image placement mode when integration is implemented. An image integrator () creates image data in a format designated by the presence/absence of integration and placement mode. A 3D information generator () generates 3D information necessary for 3D image display by formatting the presence/absence of integration and the placement mode. An encoder () encodes the image data created by image integrator () and generates coded data. A multiplexer () converts the encoded data generated by encoder () and the 3D information created by the 3D information generator into a predetermined format and outputs the result to the outside. This arrangement enables image data for 3D display to be versatile.
