Abstract:
An image reproducing apparatus, a server, and image reproducing methods thereof are provided. The image reproducing apparatus includes a reproducer which reads and processes a first video signal and an audio signal for a first image from a multimedia medium; a signal processor which processes additional data received from a server to generate a second video signal for a second image based on the first video signal; and a controller which collects image reproducing apparatus information and multimedia medium information through the reproducer, requests a host authentication and the additional data along with transmitting the collected information to the server, and generates the second video signal by synthesizing the first video signal output from the reproducer and the additional data processed by the signal processor.
