Abstract: A game lighting controller detects implicit triggers in the video games, each based on analysing audio and/or video content output during gameplay and/or an effect on one or more players invoked by the content. Each implicit trigger corresponds to a respective one of a set of predefined event types. Based on detecting one of these triggers in a video game, the controller identifies an event occurring within that video game as being of a certain one of the predefined event types. The controller also reads metadata specifying a classification of the video game from amongst a set of predefined classifications. Based on identifying the event as being of the particular predetermined type, and in dependence on the classification of the video game specified in the metadata, the controller controls illumination emitted by one or more luminaires to produce a lighting effect to accompany the first event during gameplay.

Abstract: A 3-D picture signal is provided as follows. An image and depth components having a depth map for the image are provided, the depth map includes depth indication values. A depth indication value relates to a particular portion of the image and indicates a distance between an object at least partially represented by that particular portion of the image and the viewer. The 3-D picture signal conveys the 3-D picture according to a 3D format having image frames encoding the image. Extra frames (D, D?) are encoded that provide the depth components and further data for use in rendering based on the image and the depth components. The extra frames are encoded using spatial and/or temporal subsampling of the depth components and the further data, while the extra frames are interleaved with the image frames in the signal in a Group of Pictures coding structure (GOP).

Abstract: A three dimensional [3D] video signal (41) is provided for transferring to a 3D destination device (50). Depth metadata is determined indicative of depths occurring in the 3D video data, which depth metadata includes a near value indicative of depths of video data nearest to a user.

Abstract: Three dimensional [3D] image data and auxiliary graphical data are combined for rendering on a 3D display by detecting depth values occurring in the 3D image data and setting auxiliary depth values for the auxiliary graphical data adaptively in dependence of the detected depth values. The 3D image data and the auxiliary graphical data at the auxiliary depth value are combined based on the depth values of the 3D image data. First an area of attention in the 3D image data is detected. A depth pattern for the area of attention is determined, and the auxiliary depth values are set in dependence of the depth pattern.

In addition, a depth map specifically dedicated to the first picture is provided. The depth map includes depth indication values. A depth indication value relates to a particular portion of the first picture and indicates a distance between an object at least partially represented by that portion of the first picture and the viewer. The 3-D picture is supplemented with rendering guidance data that specifies respective parameters for respective rendering contexts. These respective parameters relate to generating a shifted viewpoint picture from the first picture and the depth map.

Abstract: A system of controlling displaying of image data has a source device (10), for example a BD player, which processes source image data for outputting the image data in dependence of first display parameters, and has a user control (15) for controlling the display parameters. The image data is transferred from the source device to a display device (13), which displays the image data in dependence of further display parameters, and has a further user control (16) for setting the further display parameters. The source device provides a display control mask structure, which is transferred with the image data to the display device. The display device displays the image data in dependence of the display control mask structure by masking said setting of the further display parameters according to the display control mask structure.

Abstract: A system of processing of three dimensional [3D] image data for display on a 3D display for a viewer is described. 3D display metadata defines spatial display parameters of the 3D display such as depth range supported by the 3D display. Viewer metadata defines spatial viewing parameters of the viewer with respect to the 3D display, such as viewing distance or inter-pupil distance. Source 3D image data arranged for a source spatial viewing configuration is processed to generate target 3D display data for display on the 3D display in a target spatial viewing configuration. First the target spatial configuration is determined in dependence of the 3D display metadata and the viewer metadata. Then, the source 3D image data is converted to the target 3D display data based on differences between the source spatial viewing configuration and the target spatial viewing configuration.
