Abstract: A transfer data storage system is used in a control processing unit which receives a transfer data in which a plurality of kinds of data having arbitrary data lengths are allocated within each frame, extracts each data within the transfer data included in a predetermined number of frames by the kind of data, and successively stores the extracted data into a memory.

Abstract: A personal computer based, multimedia, data processing system includes a software solution to the problem of synchronizing two or more data streams which output data to two or more multimedia output devices. One stream is a master and each other stream is a slave. The master stream generates sync pulses that can be handled in two different synchronization methods, master-slave independent synchronization or master-driven slave synchronization. Sync pulses are generated with a predetermined granularity, and synchronization is achieved when a slave stream is out of tolerance. Adaptive resynchronization may be used to speed up or slow down a slave stream.
