The present invention relates to a method and system for generating and retargeting a three-dimensiona video signal for use on a target three-dimensional display device, wherein the three-dimensional video signal comprises three-dimensional video data suitable for driving a multi-view display device and reference disparity mapping data, the reference disparity mapping data indicative of a disparity mapping for the three-dimensional video data for a reference three-dimensional display device and wherein a target disparity mapping is derived based on the reference disparity mapping and characteristics of the reference three-dimensional display device and corresponding characteristics of the target three-dimensional display device, the resulting target disparity mapping is used for retargeting the three-dimensional video data using the target disparity mapping data into a target three-dimensional video data.
