An image processing apparatus is constructed by: a receiving unit for receiving
scene data describing a 3-dimensional scene, media data associated with the scene
data, and copyright-protected data; a scene decoder for forming copyright-protected
scene data and copyright-unprotected scene data from the scene data on the basis
of the copyright-protected data; and a renderer for rendering the 3-dimensional
scene on the basis of the media data, the copyright-protected scene data, and the
copyright-unprotected scene data.
