Patent ID: 8823773

Claim:
An apparatus for receiving a digital broadcast signal for a 3-dimensional (3D) service, the apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive the broadcast signal having video data and service information for the 3D service, the video data being encoded for the 3D service into a video stream, the video data comprising a left picture and a right picture for a 3D image, the service information including video depth range descriptor indicating a minimum disparity and a maximum disparity that occur during a given time window of the video stream, wherein the minimum disparity and the maximum disparity are a minimum difference and a maximum difference between horizontal positions of a pixel representing a same point in space in the left and right views of 3-dimensional image, respectively; a signaling processor configured to parse the video depth range descriptor; a decoder configured to decode the video data; and a displaying processor configured to control on screen display (OSD) menu of the apparatus to be displayed on outer range of range between the minimum disparity and the maximum disparity of the video depth range descriptor, wherein the signaling processor is further configured to parse application selection information indicating a scene in a 3D program from the service information, wherein information in the video depth range descriptor is applied for the 3D service during the scene.
