OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A display apparatus comprising:
an interface circuitry configured to receive video content and content information including information which identifies whether or not video content is 3D video content;
a video processor configured to conduct video processing of video content;
an operation instruction receiver configured to receive an operation instruction by the viewer;
a display configured to display video content in 3D view or in 2D view; and
a processor,
wherein in a case where the content information received via the interface circuitry indicates that the video content to be received is 3D video content, the processor is configured to:
cause the display to display an indication that 3D video content is identified; and
cause the display to display a selection indication for requesting a viewer to input an operation instruction via the operation instruction receiver to select whether to allow viewing the video content in 3D view or to not allow viewing the video content in 3D view, and
wherein in a case where the content information received via the interface circuitry indicates that the video content to be received is not 3D video content,
the processor is configured to cause the display to not display an indication for requesting a viewer to input an operation instruction via the operation instruction receiver to select whether to view the video content in 3D view or to not view the video content in 3D view.
