Digital broadcasting reception method capable of displaying stereoscopic image, and digital broadcasting reception apparatus using the same

Abstract

A digital broadcast receiving apparatus for displaying a stereoscopic image comprises: a demultiplexing unit configured to demultiplex a received digital broadcast signal; a PSIP or PSI/SI processor configured to extract extension view video information from the demultiplexed digital broadcast signal; a decoder configured to decode an extension view video stream and a base view video stream from the demultiplexed digital broadcast signal; and an output formatting unit configured to format the extension view video stream and the base view video stream based on the extension view video information. The extension view video information may include at least any one of a relative position relationship between a camera which has generated the extension view video stream and a camera which has generated the base view video stream, the number of the extension view video streams, and information regarding an arrangement structure of the cameras. The relative position relationship may include at least any one of the direction in which the camera, which has generated the extension view video stream, is positioned and the degree of separation in the direction based on the camera which has generated the base view video stream. Accordingly, a signal for a stereoscopic image in a digital broadcast can be checked and processed, so a stereoscopic image can be displayed.
