摘要

3-dimensional control information is created for 3-dimensional display of a main image. By multiplexing the main image, a thumbnail image, and the 3-dimensional control information, it is possible to output the thumbnail image for appropriately checking the image content when the main image is a 3-dimensional image. Moreover, it is judged whether the parallax amount of the 3-dimensional image is within the parallax range which can be viewed 3-dimensionally. If 3-dimensional view is impossible, an alarm is issued to a user and the parallax amount of the 3-dimensional image can be adjusted. Furthermore, when enlarging or contracting the 3-dimensional image, it is judged whether the parallax amount of the 3-dimensional image is within a parallax range which can be viewed 3-dimensionally. When the 3-dimensional view is difficult, the parallax can be adjusted.
