Abstract

Display with an appropriate luminance dynamic range is realizable on a receiving side. A gamma curve is applied to input video data having a level range from 0% to 100%*N (N: a number larger than 1) to obtain transmission video data. This transmission video data is transmitted together with auxiliary information used for converting a high-luminance level on the receiving side. A high-level side level range of the transmission video data is converted on the receiving side such that a maximum level becomes a predetermined level based on the auxiliary information received together with the transmission video data.

a memory; and

circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to

receive transmission video data obtained by applying a gamma curve to input video data having first luminance value range from a low luminance value to a first high luminance value, the transmission video data having a second luminance value range from the low luminance value to a second high luminance value having a smaller value than the first high luminance value; and

convert luminance values of the transmission video data having the second high luminance value to luminance values greater than the second high luminance value and smaller than or equal to a third high luminance value in order to increase a maximum luminance value of the transmission video data based on auxiliary information received together with the transmission video data, without converting any luminance values of the transmission video data smaller than the second high luminance value, wherein
