Abstract:
1. A decoding method for decoding a coded data, said method comprising the steps of: receiving the coded data having i) a broadcast program having a coded sequence which includes a) a coded stereoscopic image which is encoded from a stereoscopic image, b) a coded non-stereoscopic image which is encoded from a non-stereoscopic image, c) first identification information included in each coded image which indicates whether the coded image is the coded stereoscopic image or the coded non-stereoscopic image, and d) second identification information which indicates whether the coded image includes a progressive image, and ii) broadcast program information separate from the broadcast program, the broadcast program information comprising an arrangement table which indicates whether sets of coded images in the broadcast program include a stereoscopic content or not, outputting a signal to inform a decoding broadcast program includes the stereoscopic content, when the broadcast program information indicates the decoding broadcast program includes the stereoscopic content, decoding the coded stereoscopic image and outputting the stereoscopic image, when the identification information indicates that the coded image is the coded stereoscopic image, and decoding the coded non-stereoscopic image and outputting alternately two field images which consist of the non-stereoscopic image, when the first identification information indicates that the coded image is the coded non-stereoscopic image and the second identification information indicates that the coded image is not the progressive image, wherein the coded stereoscopic image includes a third coded image which is encoded from a stereoscopic right image of the stereoscopic image and a fourth coded image which is encoded from a stereoscopic left image, the third coded image is different from the coded non-stereoscopic image, and the fourth coded image is different from the coded non-stereoscopic image.
