Abstract

Disclosed are a content providing apparatus, a method of controlling the same, and a recording medium thereof, the content providing apparatus including: a transmitter configured to transmit data to a display apparatus; and a processor configured to control the transmitter to transmit content data and additional data, relating to image attributes of the content data and having a fixed value corresponding to at least one section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, to the display apparatus based on a command received from a user to playback image content at a predetermined speed. Thus, it is possible to solve a problem of flickering or an error in brightness of a screen at a variable-speed playback of dynamic HDR content.

Claims (34)

1. A content providing apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit data to a display apparatus; and

a processor configured to control the transmitter to transmit content data and additional data, relating to image attributes of the content data, to the display apparatus,

wherein the additional data has a fixed value for performing a tone mapping operation on at least one section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, based on a command received from a user to playback the first section of the image content at a playback speed equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and

wherein the additional data has a varied value for performing the tone mapping operation on the at least one section of the content data based on the playback speed being lower than the predetermined speed.

2. The content providing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the additional data comprises data having the fixed value in the plurality of sections of the content data.

3. The content providing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the additional data corresponding to a current section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, comprises data having a value corresponding to a previous section, among the plurality of sections of the content data.

4. The content providing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the additional data comprises identification information for indicating a playback speed of the content data.

5. The content providing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the additional data is configured to cause the display apparatus to perform a second compensatory process having a processing load less than a first compensatory process on the content data.

6. The content providing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the additional data comprises information corresponding to the second compensatory process.

7. The content providing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the first compensatory process comprises a dynamic compensatory process, and the second compensatory process comprises a static compensatory process.

8. The content providing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus, to which the additional data is transmitted, performs a first compensatory process or a second compensatory process having a processing load less than the first compensatory process according to a plurality of sections of the content data, and

wherein the additional data comprises one of first information corresponding to the first compensatory process and second information corresponding to the second compensatory process according to the plurality of sections of the content data.

9. The content providing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first compensatory process comprises a dynamic compensatory process, and the second compensatory process comprises a static compensatory process.

10. The content providing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the additional data comprises metadata for performing the tone mapping operation on the content data.

11. A method of controlling a content providing apparatus, comprising:

receiving a command to playback image content at a playback speed; and

transmitting content data and additional data, relating to image attributes of the content data, to a display apparatus,

wherein the additional data has a fixed value for performing a tone mapping operation on at least one section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, based on the playback speed being equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and

wherein the additional data has a varied value for performing the tone mapping operation on the at least one section of the content data based on the playback speed being lower than the predetermined speed.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the additional data corresponding to a current section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, comprises data having a value corresponding to a previous section, among the plurality of sections of the content data.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the additional data comprises identification information for indicating a playback speed of the content data.

14. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising: performing, by the display apparatus to which the additional data is transmitted, a second compensatory process having a processing load less than a first compensatory process on the content data.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the additional data comprises information corresponding to the second compensatory process.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the first compensatory process comprises a dynamic compensatory process, and the second compensatory process comprises a static compensatory process.

17. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising: by the display apparatus to which the additional data is transmitted, performing a first compensatory process or a second compensatory process having a processing load less than the first compensatory process according to a plurality of sections of the content data,

wherein the transmitted additional data comprises one of first information corresponding to the first compensatory process and second information corresponding to the second compensatory process according to the plurality of sections of the content data.

18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the first compensatory process comprises a dynamic compensatory process, and the second compensatory process comprises a static compensatory process.

19. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the additional data comprises metadata for performing the tone mapping operation on the content data.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, in which a program of a method executable by a processor of a content providing apparatus is recorded, the method comprising:

receiving a command to playback image content at a playback speed; and

transmitting content data and additional data, relating to image attributes of the content data, to a display apparatus,

wherein the additional data has a fixed value for performing a tone mapping operation on at least one section, among a plurality of sections of the content data, based on the playback speed being equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and

wherein the additional data has a varied value for performing the tone mapping operation on the at least one section of the content data based on the playback speed being lower than the predetermined speed.
