RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK DEVICE AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04N13/04 G06T15/08 

FIELD: physics, video.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of distributing a video stream on a recording medium when playing back three-dimensional video. The device includes a reading unit for reading extent blocks from the recording medium, a switching unit which selects main and additional view streams from the extent blocks. In the device, each stream is stored in a reading buffer, a decoding unit reads and decodes each stream from the corresponding reading buffer, the time (t) required by the decoding unit to decode all data units in one extent block is greater than or equal to the sum (t₁+t₂+t₃) of the time (t₁) required to read data units except the initial data unit in the extent block, the time (t₂) required to read the initial part of the next extent block from the end reading the end of the extent block and the time (t₃) required to read the initial data unit in the next extent block.

EFFECT: ensuring continuity of playback by preventing buffer emptying.
