Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and/or a device for transmitting and receiving a broadcast signal for a broadcast service on the basis of an XML subtitle. The method for transmitting a broadcast signal, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: encoding video data, subtitle data, and signaling information including metadata related to the subtitle data; generating a broadcast signal including the encoded video data, subtitle data, and signaling information; and transmitting the generated broadcast signal.

Claims

1. A method of processing a broadcast signal in a broadcast transmitter, the method comprising:

encoding video data that correspond to at least one of SD resolution, HD resolution, and UHD resolution;

encoding Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) subtitle data having a first aspect ratio,

wherein the XML subtitle data includes subtitle text and subtitle metadata,

wherein the subtitle metadata includes high dynamic range (HDR) information of the XML subtitles, and

wherein the HDR information includes a base Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) element and a supplementary EOTF element for a dynamic range mapping of an original luminance value of the XML subtitles to a transferred luminance value;

encoding signaling information including information for identifying the first aspect ratio, wherein an aspect ratio of the XML subtitle data, that is displayed on a screen having a second aspect ratio, is based on the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio; and

generating the broadcast signal containing the video data, the XML subtitle data, and the signaling information; and

transmitting the broadcast signal.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the signaling information further includes maximum and minimum aspect ratio information on the XML subtitle data.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the signaling information further includes one of maximum and minimum brightness information on the XML subtitle data, bit depth information on the XML subtitle data, Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) information applied to the XML subtitle data or color gamut information on the XML subtitle data.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the signaling information is included in one of an adaptation field of a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-2 Transport Stream (TS), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) auxiliary data or a header of a transport packet.

5. A method of processing a broadcast signal in a broadcast receiver, the method comprising:

receiving the broadcast signal containing video data, Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) subtitle data having a first aspect ratio, and signaling information including information for identifying the first aspect ratio,

wherein the XML subtitle data includes subtitle text and subtitle metadata,

wherein the subtitle metadata includes high dynamic range (HDR) information of the XML subtitles, and

wherein the HDR information includes a base Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) element and a supplementary EOTF element for a dynamic range mapping of an original luminance value of the XML subtitles to a transferred luminance value;

demultiplexing the video data, the XML subtitle data and the signaling information from the broadcast signal;

decoding the video data, the XML subtitle data and the signaling information; and

displaying the video data and the XML subtitle data on a screen having a second aspect ratio, wherein an aspect ratio of the XML subtitle data, that is displayed on the screen, is based on the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the signaling information further includes maximum and minimum aspect ratio information on the XML subtitle data.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the signaling information further includes one of maximum and minimum brightness information on the XML subtitle data, bit depth information on the XML subtitle data, Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) information applied to the XML subtitle data or color gamut information on the XML subtitle data.

8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the signaling information is included in one of an adaptation field of a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-2 Transport Stream (TS), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) auxiliary data or a header of a transport packet.

9. A broadcast transmitter for processing a broadcast signal, the broadcast transmitter comprising:

an encoder to encode video data that correspond to at least one of SD resolution, HD resolution, and UHD resolution, Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) subtitle data of XML subtitles having a first aspect ratio, and signaling information including information for identifying the first aspect ratio,

wherein an aspect ratio of the XML subtitle data, that is displayed on a screen having a second aspect ratio, is based on the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio,

wherein the XML subtitle data includes subtitle text and subtitle metadata,

wherein the subtitle metadata includes high dynamic range (HDR) information of the XML subtitles, and

wherein the HDR information includes a base Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) element and a supplementary EOTF element for a dynamic range mapping of an original luminance value of the XML subtitles to a transferred luminance value;

a broadcast signal generator to generate the broadcast signal containing the video data, the XML subtitle data, and the signaling information; and

a transmitter to transmit the broadcast signal.

11. The broadcast transmitter according to claim 9, wherein the signaling information further includes maximum and minimum aspect ratio information on the XML subtitle data.

12. The broadcast transmitter according to claim 9, wherein the signaling information further includes maximum and minimum brightness information on the XML subtitle data, bit depth information on the XML subtitle data, Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) information applied to the XML subtitle data or color gamut information on the XML subtitle data.

13. The broadcast transmitter according to claim 9, wherein the signaling information is included in one of an adaptation field of a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-2 Transport Stream (TS), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) auxiliary data or a header of a transport packet.

10. A broadcast receiver for processing a broadcast signal, the broadcast receiver comprising:

a receiver to receive the broadcast signal containing video data that correspond to at least one of SD resolution, HD resolution, and UHD resolution, Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) subtitle data having a first aspect ratio, and signaling information including information for identifying the first aspect ratio,

wherein the XML subtitle data includes subtitle text and subtitle metadata,

wherein the subtitle metadata includes high dynamic range (HDR) information of the XML subtitles, and

wherein the HDR information includes a base Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) element and a supplementary EOTF element for a dynamic range mapping of an original luminance value of the XML subtitles to a transferred luminance value;

a demultiplexer to demultiplex the broadcast signal into the video data, the XML subtitle data, and the signaling information;

a decoder to decode the video data, the XML subtitle data, and the signaling information; and

a screen to have a second aspect ratio and display the video data and the XML subtitle data, wherein an aspect ratio of the XML subtitle data, that is displayed on the screen, is based on the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio.

14. The broadcast receiver according to claim 10, wherein the signaling information further includes maximum and minimum aspect ratio information on the XML subtitle data.

15. The broadcast receiver according to claim 10, wherein the signaling information further includes maximum and minimum brightness information on the XML subtitle data, bit depth information on the XML subtitle data, Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) information applied to the XML subtitle data or color gamut information on the XML subtitle data.

16. The broadcast receiver according to claim 10, wherein the signaling information is included in one of an adaptation field of a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-2 Transport Stream (TS), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) auxiliary data or a header of a transport packet.
