The decoder system 400 that is a playback device compatible with the enhanced video stream described above decodes the enhanced video stream at the enhanced decoder (Enh. Dec) 402. The enhanced video information generated by this decoding is rendered to an enhanced plane (Enh. plane) 404. The decoder system 400 composites this enhanced video information with the high-luminance video information at the base plane (Base plane (HDRb)) 403, so as to composite videos that have the same PTS. The enhanced high-luminance video information obtained by this compositing is rendered to a Base+Enh. Plane 406. The decoder system 400 outputs this enhanced high-luminance video information to an external video output I/F such as HDMI (registered trademark), along with basic luminance information transmitted by the SEI message (HDRb), luminance enhancement information stored in the enhanced video stream, and so forth.
