Abstract: An image output apparatus (1) is provided with: a first decoding device (21) and a second decoding device (22) for decoding each of left-eye image data and right-eye image data associated with three-dimensional data and for outputting first and second image signals, respectively; a third decoding device (21) for decoding two-dimensional image data and for outputting a third image signal; a switching device (23, 24, SW1) for selecting the first and second image signals alternately at predetermined intervals when the three-dimensional image is outputted and for selecting the third image signal when the two-dimensional image is outputted; an interpolating device (26) for interpolating the third image signal such that a frame frequency and resolution associated with the third image signal match a frame frequency and resolution associated with each of the first image signal and the second image signal when the two-dimensional image is outputted; and an outputting device (27) for outputting the first and second ima

Abstract: A CC data detecting/inserting unit 11 detects the presence or absence of the CC data superimposed on an input video signal, and a control unit 14 decides the contents of the operation command by a remote control signal. Where the start of recording or release of pause of the recording is instructed, a CC data insertion controlling unit 12 produces a control signal so that a control code indicative of “clear” is read out from a CC data storage memory 13. The CC data detecting/inserting unit 11 inserts this control code data as the CC data. Thus, the CC data with the control code data indicative of “clear” inserted at a discontinuous point as well as the video signal is recorded. This overcomes the inconvenience of display of the information of coupled discontinuous characters.
