VIDEO PROCESSING DEVICE
A video processing device is a device capable of outputting stereoscopic video information containing a first eye image and a second eye image and enabling stereoscopic viewing to a video display device. The video processing device includes an obtaining unit that obtains the stereoscopic video information which is obtained by coding the first and second eye images in a coding method using different bit rates to the first and second eye images respectively, and a transmitting unit that transmits identification information indicating one of the first and second eye images that is coded with higher bit rate, to the video display device, with the identification information being associated with the decoded stereoscopic video information.
1 . A video processing device capable of outputting stereoscopic video information containing a first eye image and a second eye image and enabling stereoscopic viewing to a video display device, the video processing device comprising:
an obtaining unit that obtains the stereoscopic video information generated by coding the first and second eye images in a coding method using different bit rates for the first and second eye images respectively; and
a transmitting unit that transmits identification information indicating one of the first and second eye images that is coded with a higher bit rate, to the video display device, with the identification information being associated with the decoded stereoscopic video information.
2 . The video processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the video processing device and the video display device are connected to each other by a transmission method, the transmission method requiring authentication when information to be transmitted is switched between the stereoscopic video information enabling stereoscopic view and two-dimensional video information disabling stereoscopic view.
3 . The video processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a generating unit that detects which one of the first and second eye images has the higher bit rate and generates the identification information based on the detection result, wherein the transmitting unit transmits the generated identification information to the video display device.
4 . The video processing device according to claim 1 , wherein, the coding method is a coding method in which one of the first and second eye images is used as a base image and the base image is coded based on information of the base image alone, and the other one of the first and second images is coded based on both information of the first eye image and information of the second eye image, and
the identification information is information indicating which one of the first and second images is the base image.
5 . A video processing device capable of outputting stereoscopic video information containing a first eye image and a second eye image and enabling stereoscopic viewing to a video display device, the video processing device comprising:
an obtaining unit that obtains stereoscopic video information generated by coding the first eye image using I and P frames and coding the second eye image using P frame according to an MVC coding method;
a decoder that decodes the obtained stereoscopic video information; and
a transmitting unit that transmits identification information indicating one of the first and second eye images that is coded and includes I frame therein, with the identification information being associated with the decoded stereoscopic video information.
