Abstract

A reception device is provided that includes circuitry configured to receive a container. The container includes a video stream obtained by encoding video data. The video data is obtained by performing photoelectric conversion on input data of a high dynamic range image. The container further includes characteristic information for an electro-optical conversion of the video data that is inserted into a layer of the video stream and/or a layer of the container. The characteristic information indicates one of a plurality of types for the electro-optical conversion. The circuitry is configured to process the video stream included in the container.
