A video apparatus includes a first and second video output devices and a video display device, the first video output device transmits information regarding a CC or closed caption display condition to the second output device through a CEC communication unit when switching over from the first output device to the second output device, in consequence, the second video output device can continue to display the CC or closed caption display condition, therefore, it is not required to set the CC or closed caption display once again by a user when switching over the video output device to another.

According to the present invention, there is provided an image reproducing apparatus for reproducing a digital broadcast based on the MPEG standard. When performing special reproduction by use of access-unit management information that is used to manage access units, the image reproducing apparatus reads ahead the access-unit management information and compares time stamps. As a result of the comparison, if it is judged that the absence of a piece of the access-unit management information exists, the special reproduction is then performed by use of simple information that is used to manage a stream.This makes it possible to continuously perform the special reproduction even if it becomes impossible to utilize the access-unit management information.

An image display system includes a display device, an input section to which video signals of an interlace scanning system are inputted, a signal converter section which increases horizontal scanning lines of the inputted video signals in number by a factor of at least two, and which generates first and second fields, each of the fields including effective scanning lines used for displaying and ineffective scanning lines not used for displaying, with the effective and ineffective scanning lines being arranged alternately in each of the fields, and a display control section which controls the display device to display the first and second fields alternately. The display control section controls the display device such that positions of the effective scanning lines of the first fields correspond with those of the ineffective scanning lines of the second fields, and vice versa.

The usability while performing copy control can be enhanced in the case of recording a digital broadcast program for which recording of one generation is permitted (“Copy One Generation”). When an output route in the case of copying digital contents from a first recording apparatus to a second recording apparatus is via LAN, authentication is executed between the first recording apparatus and the second recording apparatus. The capability of a move process with a predetermined copy number of multiple copies being kept is confirmed, and dedicated key information is shared to be used for encryption and decryption of the digital contents moved with the predetermined copy number of multiple copies being kept. Then, the digital contents recorded and managed in the first recording apparatus is added with the information about the predetermined copy number of multiple copies, and transmitted.

An output control method for controlling copy operation for a digital broadcast program permitted to be recorded for one generation (copy one generation) with an improved operating convenience. A digital content and a plurality of types of copy control information for controlling the copies of the digital content are received, and in accordance with the copy control information, the digital content is output to a plurality of recording media connected through a network. If first information contained in the copy control information received indicates copy generation information to permit copies for one generation and second information contained in the copy control information indicates “limited number of copies permitted” mode permitting a predetermined number of copies, then the digital content is output to only one of the recording media in a state permitting copying up to the predetermined number.

A receiver includes a reception unit that receives a digital broadcast signal that includes content, wherein the content includes a video signal and identification information indicating that the video signal includes a 3D video signal; a conversion unit that converts a 3D video signal to a 2D video signal; a control unit that rewrites the identification information; and a recording unit that can record the content, which is included in the digital broadcast signal received by the reception unit, to a recording medium wherein the conversion unit converts a 3D video signal, included in the content, to a 2D video signal and, when the content is recorded to the recording medium, the control unit rewrites the identification information included in the content.

A video processing apparatus comprises an input unit, to which video information is inputted; a decoder unit, which is configured to decode the video information inputted to the input unit; and an output unit, which is configured to output the video information decoded within the decoder unit, wherein a message indicting that there is a schedule for outputting 3D video information from the output unit, in case where the video information to be inputted to the input unit after elapsing a predetermined time is the 3D video information, or the video information outputted from the output unit is 3D video information, and a message for prompting a user to be in a condition of being able to view the 3D video from the output unit, if the user is not in the condition of being able to view the 3D video, or the video information outputted from the output unit is 3D video information, and an output of the 3D video information from the output unit is stopped, temporally, when the user is not in the condition of being able to view the 3D video. Or, it further comprises a recording unit, which is configured to record the video information inputted to the input unit onto a recording medium, wherein the recording unit starts recording of the 3D video information, when the 3D video information is inputted to the input unit in case where a user is not in a condition of being able to view the 3D video.

High audibility output is realized when audio output is provided in special playback. In special playback with audio output, skip/repeat control is done so that decoding and outputting of the audio data is periodically repeated/skipped during part of one frame. The output level may be corrected so as to emphasize appropriate frequency components. This realizes good audio output. In addition, the skip/repeat control and output level correcting methods are changed according to characteristics of the audio data to be reproduced. Also, this realizes good audio output.

Necessary information on an action, which is performed in the case where a reproducing position overtakes a recording position during follow-up reproduction, is provided for a user. An action the user desires can be automatically or readily carried out. A reproducible time is calculated during a reproducing action. If the reproducible time is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, a warning message is displayed for the user. When the reproducible time becomes equal to or smaller than the predetermined value and a breakpoint in a content comes within the reproducible time, reproduction is suspended at the breakpoint. When the reproducible time becomes equal to or smaller than the predetermined time, a picture is switched to a temporary-reproduction content.

For reproduction of transport stream (TS) from a recording medium, it is necessary to control the reproduction so as not to overflow the decoder buffer at the time of starting the reproduction and or when switching to the normal reproduction from special reproduction. At the times of starting the TS reproduction from a recording medium and switching between the normal reproduction and the special reproduction, selection is made as appropriate between a reproduction technique which performs stream output with timing similar to the input timing used for recording, and another reproduction technique which monitors data amount stored up in a decoder buffer and controls stream output in accordance with the controlled data amount.
