Abstract

A transmission method in the present disclosure includes; obtaining an image and image signal characteristics information indicating one of an opto-electrical transfer function (OETF) or an electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) as image signal characteristics of the image; and transmitting a signal including the image and the image signal characteristics information. According to the transmission method in the present disclosure, a receiving device that received a high dynamic range (HDR) image and a standard dynamic range (SDR) image transmitted through broadcasting or the like can display these images appropriately.

Claims (17)

1. A receiving device which receives content transmitted from a transmitting device, the receiving device comprising:

a receiver configured to:

from the transmitting device, receive (i) a first content, the first content conforming to High Dynamic Range (HDR), (ii) a second content to be displayed with the first content on a display connected to the receiving device, the second content conforming to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and the second content including at least one of a caption or an image, and (iii) a scale factor described in Timed Text Markup Language (TTML); and

circuitry which converts the second content to a converted content conforming to HDR using the scale factor in the receiving device.

2. The receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiver receives the first content from the transmitting device via a first network, and

receives the second content and the scale factor, respectively, from the transmitting device via a second network.

3. A receiving method for receiving, by a receiving device, a content that is transmitted from a transmitting device, the receiving method comprising:

receiving, by the receiving device, a first content transmitted from the transmitting device, the first content conforming to High Dynamic Range (HDR);

receiving, by the receiving device, a second content transmitted from the transmitting device, the second content being to be displayed with the first content on a display connected to the receiving device, the second content conforming to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), the second content including at least one of a caption or an image;

receiving, by the receiving device, a scale factor transmitted from the transmitting device and described in Timed Text Markup Language (TTML); and

converting the second content to a converted content conforming to HDR using the scale factor in the receiving device.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program configured to cause a receiving device to perform:

receiving a first content from the transmitting device, the first content conforming to High Dynamic Range (HDR);

receiving, from the transmitting device, a second content to be displayed with the first content on a display connected to the receiving device, the second content conforming to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), the second content including at least one of a caption or an image;

receiving, from the transmitting device, a scale factor described in Timed Text Markup Language (TTML); and

converting the second content to a converted content conforming to HDR using the scale factor in the receiving device.
