  • the reception portion 302 of the reception device 300 functions as a transmission portion
  • the transmission portion 210 of the transmission device 200 functions as a reception portion
  • the retransmission request is transmitted from the reception device 300 to the transmission device 200 via the network 400.
  • Fig. 9 is a flow chart showing another processing procedure of the reception device 300.
  • Fig. 9 shows processing to change the FEC strength using luminance information and color-difference information, for example, to raise the FEC strength while taking particular account of the luminance information.
  • processing is performed to interpolate luminance (Y) only.
  • a degree of priority of the subtitle information may be set to be higher than that of the video images, and can be handled as special information with respect to video image information. As one example, redundancy with respect to the subtitle information can be made higher than the video image information. Further, a method is conceivable that uses SVC (Scalable Video Codec) layers and the degree of priority. This is a method in which an FEC amount is changed in accordance with a degree of importance of the layer, and a processing method is possible that shortens delay time by performing processing on each layer of a plurality of channels using a single encoding matrix. As an example, more important images, such as low frequency images, are considered to be more important layers and have a higher degree of priority.
  • SVC Scalable Video Codec
  • audio information can be handled in a similar manner, in which data of a plurality of channels are multiplexed on a single FEC encoding matrix and processed, and packets relating to surround etc. can be collectively processed when packet loss occurs.
  • the present embodiment it is possible to construct a 3D video image live transmission system with low delay and also high resilience to packet loss. Then, even if packet loss recovery cannot be performed, video images that do not lose the stereoscopic video effect can be provided by interpolation processing. Furthermore, by performing FEC processing in accordance with a degree of strength of the stereoscopic video effect, video images can be provided which do not lose the stereoscopic video effect. In addition, it is possible to curb the transmission bandwidth to be equal to or less than a certain bandwidth, even while enhancing packet loss resilience.
