Receiving apparatus, transmitting apparatus, communication system, control method of the receiving apparatus and program

1. A receiving apparatus comprising:

one or more Central Processing Units (CPUs) configured to:

obtain a video signal including right eye image data and left eye image data;

obtain display control information that is included in the video signal;

switch the video signal based on a switching signal that specifies switching videos; and

control output of the video signal when switching videos based on the display control information,

wherein the display control information includes information specifying a ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data to add to output during a transition period of switching the video signal, and

wherein the ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data is based on an elapse of time from start of the transition period of switching the video signal.

2. The receiving apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control information is included in a codec layer that corresponds to a multiplex layer of bit stream of the video signal or a frame of the video signal.

3. A transmitting apparatus comprising:

one or more Central Processing Units (CPUs) configured to:

code a video signal including right eye image data and left eye image data in a prescribed format;

transmit the coded video signal to a receiving apparatus; and

insert, into the video signal, display control information to be used for controlling display when the video signal is switched on a side of the receiving apparatus,

wherein the display control information includes information specifying a ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data to add to output during a transition period of switching the video signal, and

wherein the ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data is based on an elapse of time from start of the transition period of switching the video signal.

4. A communication system comprising:

a transmitting apparatus comprising one or more first Central Processing Units (CPUs) configured to:

code a video signal including right eye image data and left eye image data in a prescribed format,

transmit the coded video signal to a receiving apparatus, and

insert, into the video signal, display control information to be used for controlling display when the video signal is switched on a side of the receiving apparatus; and

the receiving apparatus comprising one or more second Central Processing Units (CPUs) configured to:

receive the video signal,

obtain the display control information that is included in the video signal,

switch the video signal based on a switching signal that specifies switching videos, and

control output of the video signal when switching videos based on the display control information,

wherein the display control information includes information specifying a ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data to add to output during a transition period of switching the video signal, and

wherein the ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data is based on an elapse of time from start of the transition period of switching the video signal.

5. A method of controlling a receiving apparatus, the method comprising:

obtaining a video signal including right eye image data and left eye image data;

switching the video signal based on a switching signal that specifies switching videos; and

controlling output of the video signal when switching videos based on display control information,

wherein the display control information includes information specifying a ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data to add to output during a transition period of switching the video signal, and

wherein the ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data is based on an elapse of time from start of the transition period of switching the video signal.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of computer-executable instructions which when executed causes a computer to perform steps comprising:

obtaining a video signal including right eye image data and left eye image data;

obtaining display control information that is included in the video signal;

switching the video signal based on a switching signal that specifies switching videos; and

controlling output of the video signal when switching videos based on the display control information,

wherein the display control information includes information specifying a ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data to add to output during a transition period of switching the video signal, and

wherein the ratio of the right eye image data and the left eye image data is based on an elapse of time from start of the transition period of switching the video signal.

7. The receiving apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display control information includes information specifying which one of the right eye image data or the left eye image data to output during the transition period of switching videos,

wherein the transition period includes a first portion and a second portion, and

wherein the one or more CPUs are configured to control the output of the video signal when switching videos such that only one of the right eye image data or the left eye image data is output a plurality of times without the other one of the right eye image data or the left eye image data being output during the first portion of the transition period based on the display control information.
