Abstract

The disclosure is disclosed an apparatus of processing an image and a method thereof. According to the present invention, the method of transmitting a broadcast signal for 3-dimensional, 3D, service, may include encoding video data for a 3D service into a stream, generating first service information including a first descriptor including first information for specifying that a type of the stream is a video stream and second information for specifying a type of a component included in the video stream is a 3D video component and transmitting a broadcast signal including the encoded stream and the generated service information.

Claims (21)

1. A method of transmitting a broadcast signal for a 3-dimensional, 3D, service, the method comprising:

encoding video data for a 3D service into at least one stream;

generating first service information including a stream type for the at least one stream of the 3D service, second service information including a service type for identifying the 3D service, and third service information indicating that a future event is the 3D service,

wherein the first service information includes a descriptor which signals existence of the 3D service,

the second service information includes stream information, 3D service structure information and sampling information for the 3D service,

wherein the stream information indicates that at least one stream is MPEG video stream or AVC video stream, and wherein the 3D service structure information indicates that the 3D service is a top-and-bottom service, a side-by-side service, or a full-frame 3D service, and

wherein the sampling information includes horizontal and vertical sampling information for the 3D service; and

transmitting a broadcast signal including the at least one encoded stream and the generated first, second and third service information,

wherein the broadcast signal further includes a SEI (Supplemental enhancement information) message that includes a frame packing arrangement data specifying a 2D service portion in the broadcast signal in order to provide frame accurate signaling for a situation in which a temporal inconsistency with the first service information for a current viewing mode is occurred when a viewing mode transits from 3D to 2D or 2D to 3D.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second service information comprises a linkage descriptor including first information for specifying the type of linkage, the first information including a value indicating an extended event linkage and the extended event linkage including a value of indicating information for indicating that a target service is a 3D service.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second service information comprises a linkage descriptor including first information for specifying the type of linkage and a private data byte privately defined that a replacement service is a 3D service, and wherein the first information including a value indicating that the replacement service.

4. An apparatus of receiving a broadcast signal for a 3-dimensional, 3D, service, the apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a broadcast signal including an encoded stream and service information for signaling the 3D service; and

a decoding unit configured to decode video data for a 3D service into at least one stream,

wherein the service information comprises first service information including a stream type for the at least one stream of the 3D service, second service information including a service type for identifying the 3D service, and third service information indicating that a future event is the 3D service,

wherein the first service information includes a descriptor which signals existence of the 3D service,

the second service information includes stream information, 3D service structure information and sampling information for the 3D service,

wherein the stream information indicates that at least one stream is MPEG video stream or AVC video stream, and wherein the 3D service structure information indicates that the 3D service is a top-and-bottom service, a side-by-side service, or a full-frame 3D service,

wherein the sampling information includes horizontal and vertical sampling information for the 3D service, and

wherein the broadcast signal further includes a SEI (Supplemental enhancement information) message that includes a frame packing arrangement data specifying a 2D service portion in the broadcast signal in order to provide frame accurate signaling for a situation in which a temporal inconsistency with the first service information for a current viewing mode is occurred when a viewing mode transits from 3D to 2D or 2D to 3D.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the first and second service information comprises a linkage descriptor including first information for specifying the type of linkage, the first information including a value indicating an extended event linkage and the extended event linkage including a value of indicating information for indicating that a target service is a 3D service.
