Abstract:
1. A stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video processing system, the system comprising: a compressor for processing a plurality of video data streams into a plurality of compressed video data streams, and combining the plurality of compressed video data streams into a single integrated elementary stream; a packetizer for packetizing the single integrated elementary stream into a packetized elementary stream; a multiplexer for multiplexing the packetized elementary stream; and a transmitter for outputting the multiplexed stream for transmitting or storing the same, wherein the multiplexed stream includes: viewpoint information including a viewpoint information flag representing a value corresponding to the number of view points that the packetized elementary stream provides; and display discrimination information including a display mode that the packetized elementary stream provides and is selected by a user from a set of display modes prior to the display discrimination information being included in the multiplexed stream, and wherein the packetizer constructs a packet and adds header information to the packet to include the viewpoint information and the display discrimination information, the display mode is selected from a plurality of display modes including a two-dimensional video display mode, a stereoscopic three-dimensional video display mode, and a multiview three dimensional video display mode.
