Virtual Reality (VR) systems, apparatuses and methods of processing data are provided which include predicting, at a server, a user viewpoint of a next frame of video data based on received user feedback information sensed at a client, rendering a portion of the next frame using the prediction, encoding the portion, formatting the encoded portion into packets and transmitting the video data. At a client, the encoded and packetized A/V data is received and depacketized. The portion of video data and corresponding audio data is decoded and controlled to be displayed and aurally provided in synchronization. Latency may be minimized by utilizing handshaking between hardware components and/or software components such as a 3D server engine, one or more client processors, one or more client processors, a video encoder, a server NIC, a video decoder, a client NIC; and a 3D client engine.

A configuration capable of recording MMT format data in a medium as BDAV or SPAV format data and enabling the MMT format data to be reproduced is realized. MMT format data input via a broadcast wave or the like is input, and record data according to a BDAV format or an SPAV format is generated. A data processing unit generates an MMT format stream file storing the MMT format data as reproduction data and further generates a playlist file storing reproduction control information of the MMT format stream file and a clip information file.

A transmission device is disclosed. The transmission device comprises a signal generation unit for generating a broadcast signal including a service, and a transmission unit for transmitting the broadcast signal through at least one radio frequency (RF) channel. A broadcast stream transmitted through the RF channel includes signaling for the service, the signaling for the service including information indicating whether the service is transmitted through a plurality of RF channels, and information indicating whether the broadcast stream transmitted through the RF channel contains an essential portion of the service.

The present invention proposes a method of providing a broadcasting service. The method of providing the broadcasting service through a broadcasting receiver according to the present invention includes: a step of pairing a network interface unit and a companion device; and a step of receiving an electronic service guide (ESG) through a reception unit, wherein the method of providing the broadcasting service may include ESG data related to at least one broadcasting service.

A program play control method and a digital television device are disclosed. The method includes: reading section data from received transport stream TS data packets, and directly saving the section data in a nonvolatile memory without parsing, where the section data carries program specific information PSI and system information SI; if audio/video data carried in a TS data packet corresponding to the PSI needs to be played, parsing the section data to obtain the PSI and the SI, and saving the PSI and the SI; and reading the PSI from the memory, playing, according to the PSI, the audio/video data carried in the TS data packet corresponding to the PSI, reading the SI from the memory, and displaying the SI. Implementation of embodiments of the present invention can save storage space of a memory and a nonvolatile memory in a case in which no loss of PSI/SI is ensured.

The disclosure relates to a computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded therein for providing network-adaptive content and a related apparatus. The disclosure allows streaming content to be provided to a user terminal in view of a difference in transmission quality of communication networks by analyzing a source address of a signaling message transmitted to the user terminal, identifying the type of a communication network accessed by the user terminal, differently setting media transmission parameters for encapsulation and packetization in accordance with the identified network type, and performing encapsulation and packetization in accordance with the set media transmission parameters.

Novel techniques are described for enabling headphone-driven systems to handle packetized streams of next-generation television (NGTV) content. For example, a headphone system can include an antenna and a NGTV tuner to receive and decode a packetized television content stream wirelessly from a content provider via a digital television content network. The decoded stream can be processed by the headphone system to generate an audio stream and a video stream. Audio content of the audio stream can be output via an audio transducer of the headphone system. The video stream can be transmitted, via a device interface of the headphone system, to a media playback device for outputting of video content (e.g., and audio content, in some cases) of the video stream. For example, the video stream is transmitted, via a short-range wireless network to a smartphone, tablet computer, transport vehicle display, or other playback device.

Methods, systems, and machine-readable media for adapting content composites to device operations of an endpoint media device are disclosed. Blockchain data associated with a blockchain address may be processed by one or more processing devices. The blockchain data and/or the blockchain address may be mapped by the one or more processing devices to a first endpoint media device. Based at least in part on the blockchain data, a first content composite may be identified by one or more processing devices for delivery from a content provider system via one or more networks to the first endpoint media device. Transmission of the first content composite may be caused where, consequent to delivery of the first content composite to the first endpoint media device, the first endpoint media device or a second endpoint media device performs at least one operation relating to the first content composite.

A vehicle reception apparatus can receive a broadcast signal through a receiver, perform data communication for receiving and displaying a broadcast service without transmission loss, and maximize memory efficiently by controlling an encoder and an interface in a vehicle. For example, the vehicle reception apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a broadcast signal, a demodulator configured to extracting a baseband (BB) frame including service data and a BB frame size based on the received broadcast signal, an encoder configured to receive, from the demodulator, the extracted BB frame and the extracted BB frame size, and store the extracted BB frame in a buffer, and an interface configured to receive, from the encoder, the stored BB frame and the BB frame size.

An image processing apparatus includes: a signal receiver configured to receive a content signal comprising video data and first extraction information used in extracting the video data; a signal processor configured to process the video data extracted from the content signal; a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with a server; and a controller configured to receive second extraction information from the server through the communication circuitry of the communicator, to extract the video data from the content signal based on the received second extraction information, and to control the signal processor to process an image based on the extracted video data.
