  • Publication number: 20230308202
    Abstract: A frame synchronization apparatus according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a frame memory, a time generation unit, a reception time acquisition unit, a timestamp acquisition unit, and a control unit. The reception unit is configured to receive packet data including video data and a timestamp. The frame memory is configured to store the packet data. The time generation unit is configured to generate a time based on a reference synchronization signal. The reception time acquisition unit is configured to acquire a reception time of packet data satisfying a condition based on the time. The timestamp acquisition unit is configured to acquire a timestamp from the packet data satisfying the condition. The control unit is configured to read packet data from the frame memory in accordance with a variation in a difference between the reception time and a time indicated by the timestamp.

  • Patent number: 10911213
    Abstract: A transmitting system includes a variable-length packet multiplexing apparatus and a transmission slotting apparatus. The variable-length packet multiplexing apparatus generates a variable-length packet. The transmission slotting apparatus stores the variable-length packet in slots forming transmission main signals. The transmission slotting apparatus includes a capacity calculator, an extractor, a remainder calculator, a selector, and a slot information multiplexer. The capacity calculator calculates a data capacity of the transmission main signals for one frame. The extractor extracts a byte number of the variable-length packet. The remainder calculator calculates a remaining capacity of the transmission main signals. The selector stores a predetermined data sequence in a region left in the slots, and outputs the slots storing the data sequence. The slot information multiplexer multiplexes slot information and the slots output by the selector.

  • Patent number: 10721008
    Abstract: A transmitting system includes an outputting apparatus and a multiplexing apparatus. The outputting apparatus transmits MMTP packets to which an NTP short format timestamp is added. The multiplexing apparatus multiplexes the MMTP packets. The multiplexing apparatus includes an extractor, a controller, a determiner, a management information generator, a continuity determiner, and a transmission timing adjuster. The transmission timing adjuster writes, for adjustment of a transmission timing of an MMTP packet being close to an MMTP packet in which an NTP short format timestamp value is discontinuous, time information taking a leap second processing into consideration, to the NTP short format timestamp of the MMTP packet.
