Abstract

In a digital contents receiver for receiving transmitted digital contents, the digital contents include at least component information indicating an element which constitutes a program of the contents. When the component information indicates that the received digital contents are a 3D component, it is determined whether a display part corresponds to display of the 3D component. If the display part corresponds to display of the 3D component, the received digital contents are displayed in 3D.

Claims (19)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a network interface circuitry configured to receive video content and content information including information which identifies whether video content to be transmitted via network for a viewer's viewing includes 3D video content or not;

a video processor configured to conduct video processing of video content;

an operation instruction receiver configured to receive an operation instruction by the viewer;

a display configured to display video content in 3D view or in 2D view; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to execute a plurality of controls including a first control, a second control, and a third control,

wherein in the first control,

the processor is configured to control the video processor to conduct 2D video processing of the video content in a case where the content information received via the network interface circuitry indicates that the video content to be transmitted does not include 3D video content,

wherein in the second control,

the processor is configured to:

cause the display to display an indication for requesting a viewer to input an operation instruction via the operation instruction receiver to select whether to choose to view the video content in 3D view or to view the video content in 2D view, in a case where the content information received via the network interface circuitry indicates that the video content to be transmitted includes 3D video content; and

control the video processor to conduct 3D video processing of the video content, in a case where the operation instruction for choosing to view the video content in 3D view is input via the operation instruction receiver;

wherein in the third control,

the processor is configured to:

cause the display to display an indication for requesting a viewer to input an operation instruction via the operation instruction receiver to select whether to choose to view the video content in 3D view or to view the video content in 2D view, in a case where the content information received via the network interface circuitry indicates that the video content to be transmitted includes 3D video content; and

control the video processor to conduct 2D video processing of the video content, in a case where the operation instruction for choosing to view the video content in 2D view is input via the operation instruction receiver.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in case where the display displays an indication indicating the video content to be transmitted includes 3D video content, the processor causes the display to display the indication in 3D view.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the content information further comprises information which identifies a 3D method of the video content to be transmitted and, if the display is capable of displaying a 3D video content by a 3D method indicated by the content information, the video processor is configured to conduct 3D video processing.
