Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for transreceiving signals and a method for transreceiving signals. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting signals comprising the steps of: encoding video data; generating signaling information which signals displaying the encoded video data so as to fit the screen ratio of a receiver, wherein the signaling information includes screen ratio control information for displaying high-resolution video data of a first screen ratio regardless of the screen ratio of the receiver; and multiplexing the encoded video data and the signaling information and transmitting the multiplexed video data and the signaling information.

Claims (27)

1. A method for transmitting signals comprising:

encoding video data, wherein the encoded video data include UHD(ultra-high definition) video data for an UHD service;

wherein the video data is encoded to separate a first element for a base layer and a second element for an enhancement layer;

generating signaling information wherein the type information identifies High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) codec information of the UHD service; and

multiplexing the encoded video data and the signaling information and transmitting the multiplexed video data and the signaling information,

wherein the multiplexed signaling information includes information on a video format and a resolution of the UHD service,

wherein the multiplexed signaling information includes position information for designating a screen area and for displaying the UHD service being cropped in the screen area, and

wherein the position information includes location information of an upper left position and a lower right positions of the screen area,

wherein the first element corresponds to a high definition (HD) video and the second element corresponds to UHD video , and

wherein the first element and the second element are encoded using scalable HEVC codec, and

wherein the UHD video data includes a subtitle position information of a letter box in which subtitles are displayed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signaling information further includes aspect ratio control information for combining the first and second elements of the UHD service, the aspect ratio control information includes merging information indicating that the encoded video data are divided and transmitted and merging the divided video data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the aspect ratio control information includes division information dividing the encoded video data to fit the aspect ratio.

4. An apparatus for transmitting signals comprising:

an encoder configured to encode video data, wherein the video data include UHD(ultra-high definition) video data for an UHD service;

wherein the video data is encoded to separate a first element for a base layer and a second element for an enhancement layer;

a signaling information generating unit configured to generate signaling information, wherein the signaling information includes type information based on codec information of the UHD service;

wherein the type information identifies High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) codec information of the UHD service and

a multiplexer configured to multiplex the encoded video data and the signaling information, ,

wherein the multiplexed signaling information includes information on a video format and a resolution of the UHD service,

wherein the multiplexed signaling information includes position information for designating a screen area and for displaying the UHD service being cropped in the screen area, and

wherein the position information includes location information of an upper left position and a lower right positions of the screen area,

wherein the first element corresponds to a high definition (HD) video and the second element corresponds to UHD video, and

wherein the first element and the second element are encoded using scalable HEVC codec, and

wherein the UHD video data includes a subtitle position information of a letter box in which subtitles are displayed.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the signaling information includes aspect ratio control information for combining the first and second elements of the UHD service, the aspect ratio control information includes merging information indicating that the encoded video data are divided and transmitted and merging the divided video data.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the aspect ratio control information includes division information dividing the encoded video data to fit the aspect ratio.
