Abstract: There is provided a delivery apparatus, a delivery method, and a program that are capable of providing live delivery with lower delay. Based on a URL specified by a request from a client regarded as a destination to which a content is live-delivered by using MPEG-DASH, DASH segments included in content are delivered. An extended function of independently specifying a duration of DASH segments and a placement of an SAP is used to define the URL so as to make a request for a whole of a segment sequence including a series of DASH segments consecutively arranged. Further, the URL is defined so as to make a request for a predetermined number of DASH segments from a random access point, including a random-accessible DASH segment and subsequent DASH segments in the same segment sequence. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a content delivery system that provides live delivery by using MPEG-DASH.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a content processing apparatus, a content processing method, and a program that are capable of suitably editing content to be distributed. An online editing unit stores content data for live distribution in an editing buffer, corrects, if the content data includes a problem part, the content data within the editing buffer, replaces the content data with the corrected content data, and distributes the corrected content data. An offline editing unit reads the content data from a saving unit and edits the content data on a plurality of editing levels. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a distribution system that distributes content by MPEG-DASH.

Abstract: An object is to make it possible to perform caption display satisfactorily in a case where the caption display position is designated as a relative position.The video stream is decoded to obtain video data, and the subtitle stream including the caption information is decoded to obtain bitmap data of the caption. The caption display position in the caption display position information included in the caption information is designated as a relative position with respect to the caption display range. In a case where the aspect ratio of the video area is different from the aspect ratio of the display video area, the caption display position is determined with the display video area defined as the caption display range, further resize processing is performed, and the display position control is performed onto the bitmap data of the caption on the basis of the caption display position that has undergone the resize processing. Bitmap data of the caption that has undergone display position control is superimposed on the video data to obtain display video data.

Abstract: To enhance transmission efficiency in partially adding or changing subtitle display, for example.A document of subtitle text information with display timing information is divided into a plurality of pieces. A plurality of packets having each divided piece arranged in a payload are generated. The plurality of packets are sequentially transmitted. For example, packet type information corresponding to an attribute of a divided piece arranged in the payload of a packet is arranged in the header of the packet. Further, for example, when a divided piece arranged in the payload of a packet is subtitle information to be displayed in a predetermined region, identification information indicating the predetermined region is arranged in the header of the packet.
