[0003] UHD content is aimed at providing improved image quality as compared to existing content. Research into and 15 development of a UHD video element have been conducted in various fields in addition to a broadcast field. A demand for providing an improved user experience, which has not been provided by existing content in terms of color and brightness, has increased. [0004] Therefore, efforts to increase the ranges of color and brightness among various elements configuring UHD video to provide a high-quality image have been continuously made. 20 [0005] A UHD display device is different from an existing display device in terms of improvement of color and brightness. [0006] However, under various display device conditions, technology for optimally viewing UHD content has not been developed. [0007] For example, if UHD content is supplied via a next-generation display device, the color or brightness of an image may be restricted according to the physical properties of a display device and thus content may not be appropriately 25 displayed. [0008] In order to adaptively control the color and brightness of content according to display device, content transfor- mation should be performed based on accurate analysis of the properties of the display device. However, if UHD content is supplied via an external device, delivery of the properties of the display device may be restricted. 30 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Accordingly, the present invention is directed a video data processing method and device for display adaptive video playback that substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. [0010] An object of the present invention is to provide a video processing method and a video processing device 35 capable of allowing a viewer to optimally view content including UHD content under various display device conditions. [0011] Another object of the present invention devised is to provide a video processing method and a video processing device capable of reducing color or brightness restrictions according to the physical properties of display devices when content including UHD content is displayed on various display devices. [0012] A further object of the present invention is to provide a video processing method and a video processing device 40 capable of allowing a viewer to optimally view content including UHD content by delivering the properties of a display device even when content including the UHD content is supplied via an external device. [0013] Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized 45 and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
