  • Publication number: 20180139491
    Abstract: A data broadcasting processor (230) of a television receiver (200) obtains carousel data and an event message. The processor (230) reproduces each data component of the carousel data in a regular condition. During a period indicated by reproduction period information in the event message, the processor (230) reproduces a data component that includes information of higher value and that is included in the event message, instead of one of the data components which are being reproduced.

  • Publication number: 20160269759
    Abstract: To realize a display processing device which is able to easily specify an acquisition destination of a partial video which the viewer desires to display in a specified display region. A video acquisition processing section (220) of a television (200) acquires MPD data (metadata) in which an identifier and an acquisition destination are indicated in association concerning each of a plurality of partial videos. The respective identifiers of the plurality of partial videos are identifiers which are able to specify the identifier of the partial video adjacent to the partial video without referencing other information.

  • Publication number: 20110316426
    Abstract: An illumination device detecting section (6) detects data on the position of each illumination device (7) installed in the audio-visual environment space for a viewer. An illumination control data generating section (9) generates illumination control data for controlling each illumination device installed in the audio-visual environment space for the viewer, with use of the data on the position of each illumination device (7). The illumination control data allows suitable control of each illumination device installed in the audio-visual environment space for the viewer, in correspondence with its installation position, thereby improving the realistic atmosphere obtained by the viewer.
