Claim:
1. A transmitting system comprising: a generator configured to generate program elements for a 3-dimensional (3D) content including stereo images or multi-view images, and generate signaling information of the program elements; a multiplexer configured to multiplex the program elements and the signaling information; and a transmitter configured to transmit the multiplexed the program elements and the signal information, wherein the signaling information includes first table information providing a correspondence between a program number and a packet identifier (PID) of transport stream (TS) packets which carries the program elements, and second table information mapping between program numbers and the program elements, wherein the second table comprises a stream type specifying a type of a video stream carried within the TS packets, an elementary packet identifier specifying an elementary PID of the TS packets which carry the video stream, wherein the second table information includes a first descriptor, wherein the first descriptor includes type information indicating by which transmission format the 3D content has been transmitted, wherein the transmission format includes a single video stream format and a multi video stream format, wherein the first descriptor further includes at least one information flag which is used to decode a 3D content having a transmission format of the single video stream format, wherein the second table information includes a second descriptor when the type information indicates the transmission format of the 3D content being multi video stream format, and wherein the second descriptor includes a view identifier (ID) and reference information indicating identification information of views that has been referred when encoding was performed on an image of the view corresponding to the view ID.
