Encoding device and method, reproduction device and method, and program
The present technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, a reproduction device, a reproduction method, and a program enabling each reproduction equipment to reproduce an appropriate content in a simplified manner. A content data decoding unit decodes encoded metadata and outputs zoom area information, which is included in metadata acquired as a result thereof, designating an area to be zoomed. A zoom area selecting unit selects one or a plurality of pieces of zoom area information from among the zoom area information. A video segmenting unit segments a zoom area represented by the selected zoom area information in a video based on video data and outputs zoom video data acquired as a result thereof. An audio converting unit performs an audio converting process according to the selected zoom area information for audio data and outputs zoom audio data acquired as a result thereof. The present technology can be applied to a reproduction device.
1. A reproduction device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive a bit stream including encoded video data or encoded audio data and a plurality of pieces of zoom area information;
decode the encoded video data or the encoded audio data;
select at least one piece of zoom area information from among the plurality of pieces of zoom area information, wherein selecting the at least one piece of zoom area information is based on reproduction equipment information that indicates a type of the reproduction device; and
perform a trimming process for the video data acquired through decoding or an audio converting process for the audio data acquired through decoding on the basis of the selected zoom area information.
2. The reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the plurality of pieces of zoom area information, the zoom area information designating the area for each type of reproduction target equipment is included.
3. The reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the plurality of pieces of zoom area information, the zoom area information designating the area for each rotation direction of reproduction target equipment is included.
4. The reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the plurality of pieces of zoom area information, the zoom area information designating the area for each specific video object is included.
5. The reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to select the zoom area information in accordance with user's operation input.
6. The reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to select the zoom area information on the basis of information relating to the reproduction device.
7. The reproduction device according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to select the zoom area information by using information representing a rotation direction of the reproduction device as the information relating to the reproduction device.
8. A reproduction method executed by a reproduction device including processing circuitry, the method comprising:
receiving a bit stream including encoded video data or encoded audio data and a plurality of pieces of zoom area information;
decoding the encoded video data or the encoded audio data;
selecting at least one piece of zoom area information from among a plurality of pieces of zoom area information, wherein selecting the at least one piece of zoom area information is based on reproduction equipment information that indicates a type of the reproduction device; and
performing a trimming process for the video data acquired through decoding or an audio converting process for the audio data acquired through decoding on the basis of the selected zoom area information.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a reproduction device including processing circuitry, perform a reproduction method comprising:
receiving a bit stream including encoded video data or encoded audio data and a plurality of pieces of zoom area information;
decoding the encoded video data or the encoded audio data;
selecting at least one piece of zoom area information from among a plurality of pieces of zoom area information, wherein selecting the at least one piece of zoom area information is based on reproduction equipment information that indicates a type of the reproduction device; and
performing a trimming process for the video data acquired through decoding or an audio converting process for the audio data acquired through decoding on the basis of the selected zoom area information.
