Abstract:
1. A content reproduction apparatus for reproducing audio data and video data, the apparatus comprising: a video analyzer that analyzes the quality of input video data; and an audio processor that estimates a sound quality of input audio data based on the quality of the video data analyzed by the video analyzer, and that processes audio data in accordance with an audio processing determined based on the sound quality estimated by the audio processor, wherein, for the video data with a low quality, the audio processing applies intense dynamic range compression (DRC) and slight extension/enhancement of low frequency components; wherein, for the video data with an intermediate quality, the audio processing applies intense DRC and slight extension/enhancement of high and low frequency components; and wherein, for the video data with a high quality, the audio processing applies intermediate or no DRC and intense extension/enhancement of high and low frequency components.
