METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NON-REAL TIME STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO SERVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a non-real time stereoscopic video service method and an apparatus thereof. The non-real time stereoscopic video service method performed by a reception apparatus according to one embodiment of the present comprises the steps of: extracting a program association table from a received TS and analyzing the same; extracting a program map table corresponding to a program selected by a user from the program association table and analyzing the same; extracting a stereoscopic video service descriptor from the program map table and analyzing the same; generating frame and/or time information of an image to be reproduced according to the analysis of the stereoscopic video service descriptor; and reproducing an image by synchronizing a reference image and a supplementary image based on the generated frame and/or time information, wherein the step for generating the frame and/or time information of the image to be reproduced comprises: determining whether or not time stamp information regarding the image to be reproduced has been lost; and when it is determined that the time stamp information has been lost, generating the frame and/or time information based on time stamp information regarding a start of a stereoscopic video service included in the stereoscopic video service descriptor and information regarding access unit (AU) numbers of video images which have been transmitted so far after the stereoscopic video service was started. [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (S210) Extract PAT from a Ts and analyze it; (S220) Extract PMT from the Ts and analyze it; (S230) Extract an SS-descriptor from the PMT and analyze it; (S240) Generate reproduction image frame/time information by using TimeStamp and/or FirstAUTimeStamp, LastAUNumber Tag; (S250) Reproduce a reference image and a supplementary image
