Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for generating a signal for a display, the apparatus comprising: a receiver circuit for receiving a video signal comprising three-dimensional data for a sequence of images; an image generator circuit for generating a plurality of display images for the sequence of images based on the three dimensional data and a rendering viewpoint; a shot transition detector circuit for detecting shot transitions in the sequence of images; a viewpoint controller circuit for changing the rendering viewpoint in synchronization with the detected shot transitions; and a signal generator circuit for generating the signal to comprise the plurality of display images wherein the viewpoint controller circuit is arranged to switch to a second mode of operation in response to a criterion being met, wherein the viewpoint controller circuit when in the second mode of operation is arranged to bias the rendering viewpoint towards a nominal viewpoint for the display by changing the rendering viewpoint towards the nominal viewpoint non-synchronously with the shot transitions.
