Patent ID: 8810630

Claim:
A video processing apparatus comprising: a receiver which receives a two-dimensional (2D) video signal from a memory which stores the 2D video signal; a communicator which communicates with a content providing server providing a supplementary video signal for a three-dimensional (3D) video signal corresponding to the received 2D video signal; a signal processor which processes the received 2D video signal and the supplementary video signal; and a controller which controls the communicator to provide information related to the 2D video signal to the content providing server, request a supplementary video signal corresponding to the received 2D video signal and receive the supplementary video signal from the content providing server, and the signal processor to generate the 3D video signal based on the received supplementary video signal and the received 2D video signal, wherein the communicator receives the supplementary video signal separately wherein the communicator receives the supplementary video signal separately from the receiver receiving the 2D video signal, wherein the signal processor comprises: a first decoder which decodes the received 2D video signal; and a second decoder which decodes the received supplementary video signal, and wherein the signal processor extracts information used for synchronization from the decoded 2D video signal and the decoded supplementary video signal, respectively, and synchronizes the 2D video signal and the supplementary video signal to be displayed as a 3D image in accordance with the extracted information.
