Patent ID: 8427469

Claim:
A method of processing a 3 dimensional, 3D, broadcast service in a digital broadcast receiver, the method comprising: receiving a broadcast signal including 3D broadcast service data and service information for signaling the 3D broadcast service data, wherein the service information includes first information indicating at least one transmission format of the 3D broadcast service among transmission formats including a side-by-side format and a top-and-bottom format, second information indicating whether the uppermost pixel of the furthermost left side of a frame belongs to a left image or a right image, third information indicating whether one of the left image and the right image of the 3D broadcast service has been inversely scanned, and fourth information specifying which one among the left image and the right image is flipped; decoding the 3D broadcast service data and the service information; Transition Minimized Differential Signaling, TMDS, coding the decoded 3D broadcast service data and generating an InfoFrame packet for signaling the TMDS coded 3D broadcast service data using the service information; transmitting the TMDS coded 3D broadcast service data and the generated InfoFrame packet to a display unit, wherein the InfoFrame packet includes a first field having information derived from the first information, a second field having information derived from the second information, a third field having information derived from the third information, and a fourth field having information derived from the fourth information.
