Publication number: 20210344898Abstract: A video decoding device, in the case where a video of the progressive format is inputted, processes a frame as a picture, in the case where a video of the interlace format is inputted, processes a field as a picture. A video decoding device performs display control corresponding to a format of the both video by analyzing display control information in display control information analyzer. The display control information includes sequence unit display control information which is commonly used in a display process of all pictures that belong to a sequence to be decoded and picture unit display control information which is individually used in a display process of a picture to be decoded. A second code string analyzer acquires each of the sequence unit display control information and the picture unit display control information from an extended information area in units of pictures.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Kiyofumi ABE, Kazuhito KIMURA, Hideyuki OHGOSE, Hiroshi ARAKAWA, Koji ARIMURA
