摘要:
In an information recording medium storing many pieces of content, a configuration that allows use management on segmented content basis is provided. A plurality of content management units corresponding to title, index and other information are set by partitioning stored content in an information recording medium. Different unit keys that are encryption keys are allocated to different content management units. At least the content real data included in each content management unit is encrypted by use of the unit key and the encrypted data is stored. In content reproduction, units are identified and decryption is executed by use of a unit key corresponding to each unit for reproduction. In an information recording medium storing many pieces of content for example, each of segmented pieces of content may be managed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a transmission and receiving method for bit streams including picture data generated by carrying out encoding with which cost for bit stream decoding and/or bit stream encoding can be reduced. With the present invention bit streams from recording media on which bit streams are recorded or radio wave are reproduced using reproducing equipment having only a bit stream reproducing function and the reproduced bit stream are transmitted via a high speed digital network (93; 103). The bit stream transmitted through the high speed digital network (93; 103) is decoded or recorded using a decoder (95) having only a function of decoding the bit stream connected via the high speed digital network (93; 103).

The present invention relates to a data structure, a reproducing apparatus, a reproducing method, and a program which are applicable to various types of display and which facilitates signal processing performed in the displays. In a 3D video format according to the present invention, a base signal BS of a side-by-side image SbSP and an optional signal OS of a sub-image SuP obtained by collectively arranging three images described below regarding an L image LP of the side-by-side image SbSP are used. That is, the sub-image SuP includes a Depth image of the L image, an image hidden behind an object included in the L image, and a Depth image of the mage hidden behind the object. The present invention is applicable to 3D displays.

A recording device is switched for high-speed reproduction in response to a high-speed reproduction control signal input from an external unit, and a signal read from the recording device is input to a VLD and a formatter. The high-speed reproduction control signal is input to the recording device, to the switch and to the counter. The recording device reproduces a predetermined data and outputs it according to the high-speed reproduction control signal. The VLD no longer effects the variable length encoding of MPEG, and executes the syntax analysis. The counter counts the number of frames being transmitted. Temporal_reference is output depending upon the speed of reproduction indicated by the high-speed reproduction control signal. The header converter rewrites temporal_reference in the picture header in response to temporal_reference output from the counter. It is thus made possible to reproduce the dynamic image at high speeds.

The present technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, a decoding device, and a decoding method capable of suppressing the amount of information without degrading the image quality of an image of a viewpoint that is used when the compatibility is secured in a case where a multi-viewpoint image is encoded. A compatible encoder generates a compatible stream by encoding an image A1 that is a compatible image. An image converting unit lowers the resolution of images B1 and C1 that are auxiliary images. An auxiliary encoder generates an encoded stream of the auxiliary image by encoding the auxiliary image of which the resolution is lowered. A multiplexing unit transmits the compatible stream and the encoded stream of the auxiliary image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an encoding device that encodes a 3D image of the multi-viewpoint mode.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for coding video data to reduce the amount of data that must be transmitted, involving performing a discrete cosine transform of a frame of data, requantizing the transformed data with a variable quantizing step and recoding the requantized data with a variable coding length. The size of the quantizing step is controlled according to a characteristic of the data.
