Abstract:
1. An image signal processing apparatus, comprising: a receiving unit that receives a display signal including an image signal containing both a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image, region information defining a first region to display the two-dimensional image, a second region to display the three-dimensional image and including data to control activation or deactivation of the first or second region and timing information defining a time associated with the received display signal, and that separates the image signal, the region information, and the timing information from the received display signal; a display control unit that generates and transmits first display control information for controlling rendering positions of the first region and the second region in the image signal according to the region information separated by the receiving unit, a control signal according to the timing information and second display control information for selectively displaying a three-dimensional image in a region corresponding to the rendering position of the second region on the display screen based on the region information separated by the receiving unit, the display control unit transmitting the second display control signal based on a comparison of the timing information and a reference clock signal; and a processing unit that generates a display image signal indicating where the first region and the second region are arranged according to the first display control information generated by the display control unit and the image signal separated by the receiving unit, and outputs the display image signal in synchronization with transmission of the second display control information.
