Abstract

A recording medium according an aspect of the present disclosure has recorded therein a main video stream where a main video has been encoded, and a sub-video stream where a sub-video, that is to be superimposed on the main video and displayed, has been encoded. The sub-video stream includes bitmap data indicating a design of the sub-video and palette data specifying the display color of the design. The palette data includes first palette data for a first luminance dynamic range (SDR), and second palette data for a second luminance dynamic range (HDR) that is broader than the first dynamic range.

Claims (19)

1. A playback method of a playback device that reads out from a recording medium and plays a plurality of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video streams that is encoded video information and that has a wider luminance range than Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), the playback device including:

a first register storing first information indicating, for each of a plurality of playback formats for the plurality of HDR video streams, whether the playback device corresponds to or not,

a second register storing second information indicating, for each of the plurality of playback formats for the plurality of HDR video streams, whether a display device connected to the playback device corresponds to or not, and

a third register storing third information indicating, for each of the plurality of playback formats for the plurality of HDR video streams, a priority of the playback formats based on a user's preference,

the playback method comprising:

playing the plurality of HDR video streams using a playback format with a highest priority among the priority indicated by the third information, in a case where the first information and the second information indicate that there are a plurality of playback formats corresponding to both the playback device and the display device for the plurality of HDR video streams.

2. The playback method according to claim 1 , the playback method further comprising:

performing, in a case where a playback format corresponding to both the playback device and the display device has been newly added by the first information or the second information being updated, notification to prompt the user to set a degree of priority for the playback format that has been newly added.

3. The playback method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the highest priority is indicated as a higher value in the third information.

4. A playback device that reads out from a recording medium and plays a plurality of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video streams that is encoded video information and that has a wider luminance range than Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), the playback device comprising:

a first register storing first information indicating, for each of a plurality of playback formats for the plurality of HDR video streams, whether the playback device corresponds to or not;

a second register storing second information indicating, for each of the plurality of playback formats for the plurality of HDR video streams, whether a display device connected to the playback device corresponds to or not;

a third register storing third information indicating, for each of the plurality of playback formats for the plurality of HDR video streams, a priority of the playback formats based on a user's preference; and

a playback unit that plays the plurality of HDR video streams using a playback format with a highest priority among the priority indicated by the third information, in a case where the first information and the second information indicate that there are a plurality of playback formats corresponding to both the playback device and the display device for the plurality of HDR video streams.

5. The playback device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the playback unit that performs, in a case where a playback format corresponding to both the playback device and the display device has been newly added by the first information or the second information being updated, notification to prompt the user to set a degree of priority for the playback format that has been newly added.

6. The playback device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the highest priority is indicated as a higher value in the third information.
