  • Patent number: 8964859
    Abstract: A 3D decoding apparatus according to the present invention includes: a decoding unit which decodes left-eye and right-eye code signals to generate left-eye and right-eye decode signals; an error determining unit which determines an error of the left-eye and the right-eye code signals; an output determining unit which determines, when there is an error in one of the left-eye and the right-eye code signals, whether the one of the code signals that is determined as including an error has an error data mount equal to or greater than a first threshold; and an output unit which outputs neither the left-eye nor the right-eye code signal when the error data amount is smaller than the first threshold, and outputs only the decode signal obtained by decoding the other of the code signals when the error data amount is equal to or greater than the first threshold.

  • Patent number: 8941718
    Abstract: A 3D video processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes an offset value complementing unit which complements an offset value of the first picture, by assigning a value which is equal to or greater than the first offset value and equal to or smaller than the second offset value, the first offset value representing the smaller one of the offset value assigned to the second picture temporally preceding the first picture and the offset value assigned to the third picture temporally succeeding the first picture, and the second offset value representing the larger one of the offset value assigned to the second picture and the offset value assigned to the third picture.

  • Patent number: 8704876
    Abstract: A 3D video processor that outputs a left-eye image and a right-eye image to be superimposed on main video includes: a left-eye object processing unit that outputs the left-eye image; a right-eye object processing unit that outputs the right-eye image; and an image output control unit that controls the left-eye object processing unit and the right-eye object processing unit so that the images are synchronously outputted. The left-eye object processing unit determines if image output preparation of the left-eye image is completed. The right-eye object processing unit determines if image output preparation of the right-eye image is completed. The image output control unit instructs to skip the output of both the images, when the image output preparation of one of the left-eye image and the right-eye image is not completed.

  • Publication number: 20100220781
    Abstract: A moving picture decoding apparatus capable of performing time-division decoding processing with the least possible idle time by making the best use of a decoder includes: a buffer memory storing moving picture streams of channels; a video decoder which decodes the moving picture streams of channels read out from the buffer memory; a frame buffer which stores moving picture data of the moving picture streams decoded by the video decoder; a display control unit which reads out the moving picture data from the frame buffer and outputs a moving picture signal corresponding to the moving picture data; and a decoding control unit which causes the video decoder to decode the moving picture streams in a time division manner by switching the moving picture streams which the decoding control unit supplies from the buffer memory to the video decoder.
