TRANSCODER SUPPORTING SELECTIVE DELIVERY OF 2D, STEREOSCOPIC 3D, AND MULTI-VIEW 3D CONTENT FROM SOURCE VIDEO
First Claim
1. A method performed on first video content, the first video content being three-dimensional video content, the method supporting a visual presentation to a viewer, the method comprising:
- receiving the first video content that has first data and second data, the first data representative of a first perspective view, and the second data representative of a second perspective view;
selecting to support the visual presentation to the viewer in either three-dimensions or two-dimensions;
forwarding, upon selecting the three-dimensions, the first video content; and
extracting, upon selecting the two-dimensions, the second data from the first video content to produce second video content, and forwarding the second video content.

Abstract
Transcoders are provided for transcoding three-dimensional content to two-dimensional content, and for transcoding three-dimensional content of a first type to three-dimensional content of another type. Transcoding of content may be performed due to user preference, display device capability, bandwidth constraints, user payment/subscription constraints, device loading, and/or for other reason. Transcoders may be implemented in a content communication network in a media source, a display device, and/or in any device/node in between.

7. Video circuitry used with first video content, the first video content being representative of a plurality of perspective views that support a multi-dimensional visual presentation to a viewer, the video circuitry comprising:
-
content interface circuitry; processing circuitry that receives the first video content via the content interface circuitry, and the processing circuitry removes data from the first video content corresponding to at least one of the plurality of perspective views to produce second video content; and output interface circuitry through which the processing circuitry delivers the second video content. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
