Abstract
According to one embodiment, an apparatus for presenting a moving image with sound includes an input unit, a setting unit, a main beam former unit, and an output control unit. The input unit inputs data on a moving image with sound including a moving image and a plurality of channels of sounds. The setting unit sets an arrival time difference according to a user operation, the arrival time difference being a difference in time between a plurality of channels of sounds coming from a desired direction. The main beam former unit generates a directional sound in which a sound in a direction having the arrival time difference set by the setting unit is enhanced, from the plurality of channels of sounds included in the data on the moving image with sound. The output control unit outputs the directional sound along with the moving image.
