control reproduction of the video based on the parallax parameter set by the system controller.

2. The video display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to determine the reproduction speed of the video is changed, and set the parallax parameter corresponding to the changed reproduction speed.

3. The video display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to decrease the parallax parameter to one of the plurality of non-zero values after determining the reproduction speed is increased.

4. The video display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to increase the parallax parameter after determining the reproduction speed is decreased.

5. The video display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to determine a position of the reproduced video is near a predetermined section.

6. The video display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to decrease the reproduction speed based on the determination the position of the reproduced video is near the predetermined section.

7. The video display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to increase the parallax parameter based on the determination the position of the reproduced video is near the predetermined section.

8. The video display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to continuously calculate a climax evaluation value by analyzing the video, and compare the climax evaluation value to a predetermined threshold value.

9. The video display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein

when it is determined that the climax evaluation value exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the circuitry is configured to:

automatically decrease the reproduction speed of the video; and

increase the parallax parameter of the video.
