Playback method according to function of playback device
A method to be performed by a playback device includes determining whether the playback device has a function for converting first graphics in a second luminance range narrower than a first luminance range to second graphics in the first luminance range, when the playback device has the function, converting the first graphics to the second graphics, and displaying a video in the first luminance range with the second graphics being superimposed on the video, and when the playback device does not have the function, displaying the video with third graphics different from the second graphics being superimposed on the video.
1. A playback device comprising:
a first remapper that reads a video signal having a first luminance range from a recording medium, performs electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) conversion associated with the first luminance range on a code value represented by a luminance signal in the video signal to obtain a first luminance value, and converts the first luminance value obtained by the EOTF conversion into a second luminance value associated with a second luminance range different in maximum value from the first luminance range;
a second remapper that reads a graphics signal having the first luminance range from the recording medium and performs the EOTF conversion associated with the first luminance range on a code value represented by a luminance signal in the graphics signal to obtain a third luminance value, the second remapper not performing conversion on the third luminance value obtained by the EOTF conversion;
a synthesizer that synthesizes the video signal having the second luminance value converted by the first remapper with the graphics signal having the third luminance value not converted by the second remapper; and
an outputter that outputs a signal synthesized by the synthesizer to a display device.
2. The playback device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first remapper performs the EOTF conversion using a table representing an association relationship between the first luminance value in the first luminance range and the second luminance value in the second luminance range.
3. The playback device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first luminance range is a high dynamic range (HDR), and
the second luminance range is a standard dynamic range (SDR).
4. The playback device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first luminance range is an HDR, and
the second luminance range is a luminance range displayable by the display device.
5. A playback method comprising:
a first remap step of reading a video signal having a first luminance range from a recording medium, performing electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) conversion associated with the first luminance range on a code value represented by a luminance signal in the video signal to obtain a first luminance value, and converting the first luminance value obtained by the EOTF conversion into a second luminance value associated with a second luminance range different in maximum value from the first luminance range;
a second remap step of reading a graphics signal having the first luminance range from the recording medium and performing the EOTF conversion associated with the first luminance range on a code value represented by a luminance signal in the graphics signal to obtain a third luminance value, the second remap step not including performing conversion on the third luminance value obtained by the EOTF conversion;
a synthesis step of synthesizing the video signal having the second luminance value converted in the first remap step with the graphics signal having the third luminance value not converted in the second remap step; and
an output step of outputting a signal synthesized in the synthesis step to a display device.
