  • Patent number: 10565695
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and an image processing method to preferably transmit/receive or display high dynamic range images. In an image transmission system implementation, metadata is transmitted, the metadata storing information such as peak luminance, color gamut and optical-electro transfer or other characteristics of high dynamic range (HDR) content. An image receiving apparatus utilizes the metadata to perform dynamic range conversion using the metadata to adapt its display to display the HDR content.

  • Publication number: 20200053394
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a content processing apparatus, a content processing method, and a program that are capable of suitably editing content to be distributed. An online editing unit stores content data for live distribution in an editing buffer, corrects, if the content data includes a problem part, the content data within the editing buffer, replaces the content data with the corrected content data, and distributes the corrected content data. An offline editing unit reads the content data from a saving unit and edits the content data on a plurality of editing levels. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a distribution system that distributes content by MPEG-DASH.

  • Patent number: 10192294
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and an image processing method which can transmit/receive or display a high-dynamic-range image suitably are provided. An image transmission apparatus transfers, as metadata of content, luminance conversion information, which is for conversion of HDR content (for example, with maximum luminance 2000 nit) into SDR content (having, for example, 100 nit), or differential information. Based on the metadata, an image reception apparatus generates luminance conversion information, in which received HDR content is adapted to a capability of a display (for example, with maximum luminance 500 nit or 1000 nit) in an output destination, and realizes display mapping which is not against an intention of a producer.

  • Publication number: 20160210730
    Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus and an image processing method. The image processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to receive image data, and receive metadata set based on the image data. The metadata including information serving as a display mapping reference to maintain a characteristic of the image data to a portion of the image data.

  • Publication number: 20130058627
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device including a data processing unit for performing a process of reproducing content including music content. The data processing unit performs the content reproduction process using a scenario in which reproduction control information is recorded and a playlist file including designation information on the content to be reproduced, the playlist file has playitem information including the designation information on a stream file in which the content as reproduction target data is stored, and position information corresponding to an entry mark corresponding to a boundary position between each playitem and a link point set within a reproduction section of each playitem, the scenario has control information for a scene that is a content portion divided by the entry mark and the link point, and the data processing unit performs the reproduction control, performs transitioning of the scene to be reproduced and switching of the control information.
