Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Method, apparatus and computer readable media for receiving a multiprogram program transport service that includes one or more compressed video services and one or more 3D-2D conversion options, generating an uncompressed video signal by performing a decoding portion of a transcoding operation for one of the one or more of the video services, determining from the 3D-2D conversion option whether a 3D-2D conversion is to be performed, performing a scale conversion on the uncompressed video according to a specified type of 3D-2D conversion, generating a compressed video service by performing an encoding portion of a transcoding operation on the uncompressed video that has been scale converted, and generating a second multiprogram program transport service that includes the compressed video signal that has been 3D-2D converted.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of distributing video program material, comprising: receiving a multiprogram program transport service that includes one or more compressed 3D video services and one or more 3D to 2D conversion options, each 3D to 2D conversion option applicable to one or more of the compressed 3D video services, wherein each 3D to 2D conversion option indicates a type of 3D to 2D conversion that is to be performed from a plurality of types of 3D to 2D convers…
