Abstract
A method for processing a video stream of digital images includes: receiving the video stream which includes at least one composite frame containing a pair of stereoscopic digital images according to a predetermined packing format; receiving metadata which describes the format of the composite frame; generating an output video stream which can be reproduced on a visualization device, wherein the method further includes the steps of determining the area in the composite frame which is occupied by one image of the stereoscopic pair within the composite frame based on the metadata; extracting the image contained in the area from the composite frame, and generating an output frame containing the extracted image.
