In a reproduction method, a video stream has a first dynamic range where a maximum value of a luminance dynamic range is more than a predetermined luminance value, and a display apparatus displays video in a second dynamic range narrower than the first dynamic range. The reproduction method displays video based on a first reproduction signal or a second reproduction signal. The first reproduction signal is obtained by: reproducing a first video stream quantized based on a hybrid OETF without performing luminance conversion; or reproducing the first video stream subjected to the luminance conversion. The second reproduction signal is obtained by performing the luminance conversion on a second video stream not quantized based on the hybrid OETF, and reproducing the second video stream subjected to the luminance conversion.

Provided in the present invention is a method for transmitting a video using quasi-continuous modulation by means of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channel, comprising the following steps: de-correlating a source video by means of video prediction encoding and multi-dimensional transformation so as to generate a transformation domain video residual coefficient; mapping the transformation domain video residual coefficient in parallel into one or more transmission streams by means of a sub-carrier or sub-channel optimized sorting; modulating the transmission streams in parallel into a plurality of emission output signals by means of linear normalization and quasi-continuous modulation; and emitting the plurality of emission output signals in parallel to an MIMO channel by means of a plurality of antennas or cable drivers.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for IP switching/routing SDI format image signal through bandwidth splitting and reduction, more specifically, which decomposes image signals consisting of YCbCr type color format entered with serial digital interface (SDI) into Y (luminance) component and C (chrominance) component, or multiple bit slice components; converts the components into IP packets and performs switching and/or routing of the IP packets; extracts Y component and C component or multiple bit slice components from the switched or routed IP packets; and combines the components into SDI format image signal and outputs the combined SDI format image signal. In addition, the present invention provides an apparatus switching/routing image signals through grid based networking, in which broadband switching or routing is performed with multiple narrow band switches or routers by switching or routing image signals through bandwidth splitting and reduction.

A method to be performed by a playback device includes determining whether the playback device has a function for converting first graphics in a second luminance range narrower than a first luminance range to second graphics in the first luminance range, when the playback device has the function, converting the first graphics to the second graphics, and displaying a video in the first luminance range with the second graphics being superimposed on the video, and when the playback device does not have the function, displaying the video with third graphics different from the second graphics being superimposed on the video.

Image reproduction according to a display apparatus is realized by acquiring image information of an ultra-high definition (UHD) image from a playlist file or a clip information file. A data processing unit that performs a reproduction process of a disc recording data acquires a playlist file or a clip information file as a reproduction control information file corresponding to reproduction data recorded in a disc, determines whether or not an ultra-high definition (UHD) image is recorded in the disc based on recording data of such a file, and, in a case where the ultra-high definition (UHD) image is recorded in the disc, acquires image information of the ultra-high definition (UHD) image from the reproduction control information and controls output data for a display apparatus based on the acquired image information.

In a reproduction method, a first video stream has a first dynamic range where a maximum value of a luminance dynamic range is more than 100 nits, and a display apparatus displays video in a second dynamic range narrower than the first dynamic range. The method determines whether the first video stream is quantized based on a hybrid OETF. When it is determined that the first video stream is quantized based on the hybrid OETF, the first video stream is reproduced. When it is determined that the first video stream is not quantized based on the hybrid OETF, a luminance dynamic range of the first video stream is converted from the first dynamic range to the second dynamic range to obtain a second video stream, and the second video stream is reproduced.
