Abstract

A transmission device including circuitry is provided. The circuitry is configured to process transmission image data to obtain first image data for acquisition of image data of a first frame rate and a first resolution, second image data for acquisition of image data of a second frame rate and the first resolution based on the first image data, third image data for acquisition of image data of the first frame rate and a second resolution based on the first image data, and fourth image data for acquisition of image data of the second frame rate and the second resolution based on the first, second, and third image data. The circuitry is configured to transmit a description and a video stream. The description indicates a first representation corresponding to the base layer and a second representation corresponding to the enhancement layer.
