Reception-side processing performed in a case where transmission of standard dynamic range video data and transmission of high dynamic range video data coexist in a time sequence is simplified.

SDR transmission video data is converted into SDR transmission video data through dynamic range conversion. The SDR transmission video data is the one obtained by performing, on SDR video data, photoelectric conversion in accordance with an SDR photoelectric conversion characteristic. In this case, the conversion is performed on the basis of conversion information for converting a value of conversion data in accordance with the SDR photoelectric conversion characteristic into a value of conversion data in accordance with an HDR photoelectric conversion characteristic. A video stream is obtained by performing encoding processing on HDR transmission video data. A container having a predetermined format and including this video stream is transmitted.

[Problem] To provide: a decoding device that decodes and replays, in a suitable order, sequentially transmitted information; a reception device; a transmission/reception system; a decoding method; and a storage medium having the decoding program stored therein. [Solution] A decoding unit 21 that decodes packets sent from a transmission device 10. A decoding order determination unit 22 determines the order of packets to be decoded by the decoding unit 21, on the basis of adjustment information that is included in the packet and corresponds to a time adjustment for making Coordinated Universal Time approach Universal Time.

An encoding device evaluates a plurality of processing and/or post-processing algorithms and/or methods to be applied to a video stream, and signals a selected method, algorithm, class or category of methods/algorithms either in an encoded bitstream or as side information related to the encoded bitstream. A decoding device or post-processor utilizes the signaled algorithm or selects an algorithm/method based on the signaled method or algorithm. The selection is based, for example, on availability of the algorithm/method at the decoder/post-processor and/or cost of implementation. The video stream may comprise, for example, downsampled multiplexed stereoscopic images and the selected algorithm may include any of upconversion and/or error correction techniques that contribute to a restoration of the downsampled images.
