This technology relates to a receiving apparatus, a transmitting apparatus, and a data processing method for displaying emergency information communicated in an emergency at appropriate positions.
The receiving apparatus acquires metadata transmitted by a digital broadcast signal, the metadata including first emergency information required to be announced urgently and display position information indicating whether there is second emergency information embedded in uncompressed video data, the display position information further indicating, if the second emergency information is embedded in the uncompressed video data, the display position of the second emergency information on a screen. The receiving apparatus processes the metadata to determine whether the second emergency information is embedded in the uncompressed video data and, if the second emergency information is embedded in the uncompressed video data, displays the first emergency information at a position different from the display position of the second emergency information on the screen. This technology applies to television receivers, for example.
