Abstract

A digital broadcast receiving apparatus capable of executing a function with a higher added value is provided. A broadcast receiving apparatus configured to receive contents includes: a receiving unit configured to receive the contents; an interface via which the contents received by the receiving unit is outputted; a control unit configured to control an output state of the contents from the interface. In this case, the control unit is configured to determine the output state of the contents from the interface in accordance with a combination of control information indicating a copy control state of the contents, control information for specifying necessity or not of protection when to output the contents, information indicating resolution of video of the contents, and information indicating transmission characteristics of video of the contents, which are received by the receiving unit together with the contents.

Claims (37)

1. A broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:

a broadcast receiver configured to receive broadcasting data, the broadcasting data at least containing video data of program contents, event schedule information, and content information regarding luminance with which the video data of the program contents deal;

a storage configured to store display characteristic information regarding luminance;

a video conversion processor configured to execute a luminance converting process for the video data of the program contents received by the broadcast receiver on a basis of the content information received by the broadcast receiver and the display characteristic information read out from the storage;

a display configured to display a video converted by the video conversion processor; and

a controller configured to create a program guide displayed on the display on a basis of the event schedule information and control the broadcast receiver, the storage and the video conversion processor,

wherein the content information including two type of content information,

wherein a first type of content information indicating whether or not the video data of the program contents is compatible with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) for each program unit is received by not being included in a video stream of the program contents,

wherein a second type of content information indicating whether or not the video data of the program contents is compatible with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) for each unit different from the program unit is received by being included in the video stream of the program contents, and the second type of content information is received in a finer time unit than the first type of content information,

wherein the controller controls to display a symbol indicating whether or not the video data of the program contents is compatible with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) for each program unit in the program guide on a basis of the first type of content information, and

wherein the controller controls the video conversion processor to execute the color gamut converting process for the video data of the program contents for each unit different from the program unit on a basis of the second type of content information.

2. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is not higher than the maximum luminance of the program contents indicated by the content information, and

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is not executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is higher than the maximum luminance of the program contents indicated by the content information.

3. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is not higher than the maximum luminance with which editing equipment is configured to deal, the editing equipment being used for editing of the program contents indicated by the content information, and

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is not executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is higher than the maximum luminance with which editing equipment is configured to deal, the editing equipment being used for editing of the program contents indicated by the content information.

4. A broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:

a tuner configured to receive broadcast signal, the broadcast signal at least containing video data of program contents, even schedule information, and content information regarding luminance with which the video data of the program contents deal;

a demodulator configured to demodulate the broadcast signal received by the tuner and to acquire data strings;

a separator configured to separate the data strings;

a video decoder configured to decode a video data from the separator and to obtain video contents and the content information;

a storage configured to store display characteristic information regarding luminance;

a video conversion processor configured to execute a luminance converting process for the video data of the video contents obtained by the video decoder on a basis of the content information obtained by the video decoder and the display characteristic information read out from the storage;

a display configured to display a video converted by the video conversion processor; and

a controller configured to create a program guide displayed on the display on a basis of the event schedule information and control the broadcast receiver, the storage and the video conversion processor,

wherein the content information including two type of content information,

wherein a first type of content information indicating whether or not the video data of the program contents is compatible with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) for each program unit is received by not being included in a video stream of the program contents,

wherein a second type of content information indicating whether or not the video data of the program contents is compatible with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) for each unit different from the program unit is received by being included in the video stream of the program contents, and the second type of content information is received in a finer time unit than the first type of content information,

wherein the controller controls to display a symbol indicating whether or not the video data of the program contents is compatible with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) for each program unit in the program guide on a basis of the first type of content information, and

wherein the controller controls the video conversion processor to execute the color gamut converting process for the video data of the program contents for each unit different from the program unit on a basis of the second type of content information.

5. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is not higher than the maximum luminance of the program contents indicated by the content information, and

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is not executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is higher than the maximum luminance of the program contents indicated by the content information.

6. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is not higher than the maximum luminance with which editing equipment is configured to deal, the editing equipment being used for editing of the program contents indicated by the content information, and

wherein the luminance converting process in the video conversion processor is not executed in a case where the maximum luminance indicated by the display characteristic information, with which the display is configured to deal, is higher than the maximum luminance with which editing equipment is configured to deal, the editing equipment being used for editing of the program contents indicated by the content information.
