[Object] To enable consistency to be maintained in perspective with the objects in an image when performing superimposing display of ARIB format captions (caption units).[Solution] Caption data of each caption unit is inserted, as caption data (caption code) of a caption text data group, into a caption data stream. Also, disparity information (disparity vector) of each caption unit is inserted, as caption management data (control code) of a caption management data group, in the caption data stream. Since the caption data and disparity information are correlated, suitable disparity can be provided at the reception side to the caption units to be superimposed on the left eye image and right eye image.
