Abstract: In a video decoding device, a system decoding section analyzes header information included in multiplex data and performs various operations, including the separation of data, on the basis of the header information. An STC (System Time Clock) counter generates, based on an SCR (System Clock Reference)/PCR (Program Clock Reference) which is time reference data included in the multiplex data, a system clock synchronous to the system clock of a coding device. A video decoding section decodes video data included in the multiplex data in response to the system clock. Also, the video decoding section generates a clock for video display synchronous to the system clock and outputs the decoded video data in response to the clock for video display.
