Abstract: The reproduction unit includes a reproducing unit that reproduces three-dimensional (3D) content recorded on a content recording medium, and a display control unit that displays a two-dimensional (2D) image of the 3D content on a parent screen having a predetermined size within a display screen when an interlace operation is executed with respect to a 3D image of the 3D content during reproduction by the reproducing unit, and displays the 3D image of the 3D content on a child screen having a size smaller than the predetermined size within the display screen.

Abstract: A client repeatedly transmits a firmware request including an obtaining start address and an obtaining data length. The obtaining start address indicates the first address of firmware data to be obtained from the server by the client. The obtaining data length indicates the length of the firmware data to be obtained from the server by the client with respect to each firmware request. The server receives the firmware request from the client repeatedly and returns the firmware data for the obtaining data length from the obtaining start address with respect to each firmware request. The client further obtains the firmware data returned from the server repeatedly and updates the firmware by using the firmware data obtained from the server.

Abstract: A network AV system comprises a controller, a client connectable to the controller via a network, and an AV equipment connectable to the client. The controller includes a first transmitting unit transmitting a command for controlling a controlled element of the AV equipment to the client. The client includes a first receiving unit receiving the command from the controller, and a second transmitting unit transmitting the command to the AV equipment. The AV equipment includes the controlled element, a second receiving unit receiving the command from the client, and a controlling unit controlling the controlled element according to the received command.

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus includes a reproducing section that reproduces 3D contents stored on a content-recording medium; and a display controller that displays a 3D content in 2D images during a predetermined time period after the completion of a jumping operation in the case where the jumping operation has been performed on the 3D images of the 3D content during the reproduction performed on the 3D images of the 3D content by the reproducing section.

Abstract: A playback apparatus includes the following elements. A playback unit play backs 3D content recorded on a content recording medium. An OSD screen generator generates an OSD screen which is displayed by being superposed on a 3D image of the 3D content. An image processor generates a 3D image by changing an amount of parallax of the 3D image and combines the generated 3D image with the OSD screen. When the OSD screen is to be displayed while the 3D content is being played back, the image processor generates a 3D image by gradually decreasing a pop-out amount of the 3D image and combines the generated 3D image with the OSD screen. When the displayed OSD screen is to be erased, the image processor generates a 3D image by gradually increasing the decreased pop-out amount to the original pop-out amount, and combines the generated 3D image with the OSD screen.
