Publication number: 20190215508Abstract: A system of transferring of three dimensional (3D) image data is described. A 3D source device (10) provides 3D display signal (56) for a display (13) via a high speed digital interface like HDMI. The 3D display signal has frames constituting the 3D image data according to a 3D video transfer format, in which format the frames comprise at least two different frame types. Each frame has a data structure for representing a sequence of digital image pixel data, and represents a partial 3D data structure. The 3D source device includes frame type synchronization indicators in the 3D display signal. The display detects the frame type synchronization indicators and frame types, and generates the display control signals based on synchronizing the partial 3D data structures in dependence of the frame type synchronization indicators.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2019Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventors: PHILIP S.

Publication number: 20120063742Abstract: Providing entry points for 3D video data is described. An entry point unit (18) generates an entry point table by defining entry points in an incoming 3D video data stream and storing entry point addresses giving the location of the defined entry points. The video data stream comprises a multitude of sub-streams, which multitude encodes one stream of 3D video data and comprises at least one 2D sub-stream that independently encodes a 2D version of the 3D video data and at least one auxiliary sub-stream that dependently encodes part of the 3D video data. The entry points include main entry points in the 2D sub-stream and auxiliary entry points in the auxiliary sub-stream for enabling 3D trickplay of the 3D video data by retrieving and decoding nonadjacent fragments of the 2D sub-stream and retrieving and dependently decoding corresponding fragments of the auxiliary sub-stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2010Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Philip S.

Publication number: 20110316848Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2009Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Philip S.

Publication number: 20100091012Abstract: A device and method of rendering visual information combine image information like video and secondary image information, like graphics. The image information and the secondary image information are processed for generating output information to be rendered in a three-dimensional space. The output information is arranged for display on a 3D stereoscopic display having a true display depth range (44). The processing includes detecting an image depth range of the image information, and detecting a secondary depth range of the secondary visual information. In the display depth range (44), a first sub-range (41) and second sub-range (43) are determined, which first sub-range and second sub-range are non-overlapping. The image depth range is accommodated in the first sub-range and the secondary depth range is accommodated in the second sub-range. Advantageously graphics and video are displayed in true 3D without video objects occluding graphical objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2007Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Philip S.
