Abstract

Reception-side processing performed in a case where transmission of standard dynamic range video data and transmission of high dynamic range video data coexist in a time sequence is simplified. SDR transmission video data is converted into SDR transmission video data through dynamic range conversion. The SDR transmission video data is the one obtained by performing, on SDR video data, photoelectric conversion in accordance with an SDR photoelectric conversion characteristic. In this case, the conversion is performed on the basis of conversion information for converting a value of conversion data in accordance with the SDR photoelectric conversion characteristic into a value of conversion data in accordance with an HDR photoelectric conversion characteristic. A video stream is obtained by performing encoding processing on HDR transmission video data. A container having a predetermined format and including this video stream is transmitted.

Claims (37)

1. A reception apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a video stream including encoded second transmission video data having a second dynamic range, wherein the video stream further includes conversion information used to convert first transmission video data having a first dynamic range to the second transmission video data having the second dynamic range, the video stream further including metadata indicating a second electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the second dynamic range, wherein the metadata is different from the conversion information; and

processing circuitry configured to:

obtain the second transmission video data by performing decoding processing on the encoded second transmission video data included in the video stream,

determine whether to obtain a first display video data having the first dynamic range or a second display video data having the second dynamic range,

when obtaining the second display video data is determined, obtain the second display video data by performing, on the second transmission video data, electro-optical conversion based on the second electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the second dynamic range,

when obtaining the first display video data is determined, obtain the first transmission video data by performing dynamic range conversion on the second transmission video data based on the conversion information, and

obtain the first display video data by performing, on the first transmission video data, electro-optical conversion based on a first electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the first dynamic range.

2. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a display to first display the display video data or the second display video data,

wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to perform display mapping processing to obtain the first or second display video data according to display capability.

3. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first dynamic range of the first transmission video data is a standard dynamic range and the second dynamic range of the second transmission video data is a high dynamic range.

4. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the conversion information is included in a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message of the video stream.

5. The reception apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the metadata is included in a video usability information (VUI) area of a sequence parameter set (SPS) of the video stream.

6. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a description including dynamic range conversion information.

7. The reception apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the dynamic range conversion information includes information indicating a dynamic range of the video stream.

8. The reception apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the dynamic range conversion information further includes information indicating color primaries for the video stream.

9. The reception apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the dynamic range conversion information further includes information indicating color matrix coefficient for the video stream.

10. The reception apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the dynamic range conversion information includes information indicating an original dynamic range of the video stream.

11. A reception method comprising:

receiving, by a receiver, a video stream including encoded second transmission video data having a second dynamic range, wherein the video stream further includes conversion information used to convert first transmission video data having a first dynamic range to the second transmission video data having the second dynamic range, the video stream further including metadata indicating a second electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the second dynamic range, wherein the metadata is different from the conversion information;

obtaining the second transmission video data by performing decoding processing on the encoded second transmission video data included in the video stream;

determine whether to obtain a first display video data having the first dynamic range or a second display video data having the second dynamic range;

when obtaining the second display video data is determined, obtain the second display video data by performing, on the second transmission video data, electro-optical conversion based on the second electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the second dynamic range;

when obtaining the first display video data is determined, obtaining the first transmission video data by performing dynamic range conversion on the second transmission video data based on the conversion information; and

obtaining the first display video data by performing, on the first transmission video data, electro-optical conversion based on a first electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the first dynamic range.

12. The reception method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying the first display video data or the second display video data; and

performing display mapping processing to obtain the first or second display video data according to display capability of a display.

13. The reception method according to claim 11 , wherein the first dynamic range of the first transmission video data is a standard dynamic range and the second dynamic range of the second transmission video data is a high dynamic range.

14. The reception method according to claim 11 , wherein the conversion information is included in a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message of the video stream.

15. The reception method according to claim 14 , wherein the metadata is included in a video usability information (VUI) area of a sequence parameter set (SPS) of the video stream.

16. The reception method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, by the receiver, a description including dynamic range conversion information.

17. The reception method according to claim 16 , wherein the dynamic range conversion information includes information indicating a dynamic range of the video stream.
