Patent ID: 8428434

Claim:
A video reproducing apparatus comprising: a data acquiring unit which acquires a plurality of angle video data which is equal or less than an amount of the angle video data, relative display position information corresponding to the angle video data, audio data, and selection order information from a recording unit which records the plurality of angle video data corresponding to a plurality of angle videos taken at a plurality of taking angles different from one another at which a taken object is taken and having relativity with one another, which records the relative display position information indicating a relative display position of each angle video in consideration of each taking angle, which records the audio data corresponding to audios of a plurality of channels reproduced with the plurality of angle videos, and which records the selection order information indicating which angle video should be reproduced simultaneously on a priority basis among the other plurality of angle videos for each of the angle videos in consideration of each taking angle, the priority basis indicating a proximity closeness value of each angle video; a video signal output unit which outputs a plurality of angle video signals corresponding to the plurality of angle videos on a display unit, having a plurality of display devices surrounding a central display device, based on the plurality of angle video data; an arrangement determining unit which determines display position arrangement of the plurality of angle videos based on the relative display position information; an audio signal output unit which outputs audio signals of the plurality of channels to speakers having a plurality of channels based on the audio data; and an audio output setting unit which sets the speakers to be output with the audio signal of each channel based on the relative display position information, the video signal output unit respectively outputting i) a reference angle video on the central display device, the reference angle video being taken from a reference location, and ii) plural other angle videos on the plural display devices surrounding the central display device, each of the plural other angle videos being displayed based on the priority basis as determined by the proximity closeness value of each angle video from the selection order information.
