RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK DEVICE AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06F12/00 G11B20/12 H04N13/04 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the technology of playing back 3D and 2D video. A recording medium facilitates seamless connection between preceding play items which are streaming data located before a long transition and subsequent play items which are streaming data located after the long transition. An interleaved stream includes a general view stream for playing back 2D video and a sub-view stream for playing back 3D video in a combination with the general view stream. An Ln_2D unit, designed for 2D playback, is arranged such that it follows a 3D extension unit in which a depth map data unit, a right view point data unit and a left view point data unit are interleaved. The 3D extension unit, which includes an L3_ss unit designed for 3D playback, is located between the Ln_2D unit and the LB point of the long transition. The Ln_2D unit an the L3_ss unit are identical on content.

EFFECT: smaller buffer size required during stereo playback.
