A method and apparatus for reproducing a stereoscopic image are provided. The method includes generating information about parallax between a left-eye image and a right-eye image of objects included in the stereoscopic image based on a stereo camera parameter of the stereoscopic image, controlling the depth of the objects in the stereoscopic image based on the generated information, and reproducing the stereoscopic image based on the controlled depth. Accordingly, the stereoscopic image can be reproduced while minimizing the eye fatigue of a viewer.

The method of providing 3D image content includes: inserting content type information indicating whether the image content is two-dimensional (2D) image content or 3D image content into a reserved region of a Program Map Table (PMT); inserting additional information about the 3D image content into one of an Elementary Stream (ES) descriptor region of the PMT and a reserved region included in a video sequence of the ES; and multiplexing the PMT and the ES of the 3D image content so as to generate a Transport Stream (TS). Accordingly, compatibility with a conventional digital broadcasting system can be maintained and more realistic 3D image content can be provided to a user.
