Abstract: According to one embodiment, a broadcast contents data transmitting apparatus includes a switcher, transmission-side processors and reception-side processors. The transmission-side processor includes a transmitter is configured to transmit the contents data stored in the recording medium to the switcher, as data units smaller than one data block that is a management unit of contents data. The switcher includes a transmission buffer configured to store the contents data transmitted from the transmission-side processor and to transmit the contents data to the reception-side processor.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data storage apparatus includes a RAID controller, error detectors, and memory units. The RAID controller receives an encoded data stream, divides the encoded data stream into a predetermined number of data blocks and generates a block of parity data. The data blocks and the parity data block are distributed to the error detectors. The error detectors add an error detection code to the data blocks and the parity data block, respectively. The memory units receive the data blocks and the parity data block from the error detectors and set the data blocks and the parity data block to have the writable page units, respectively. Each of the memory units includes a plurality of memory chips and a memory controller. The memory controllers write the data blocks and the parity data block of the writable page units in the memory chips.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes connectors to each of which position information is allocated, processing units configured to be connected to the connectors, each of the processing units is configured to read position information, and to output an IP address of the processing unit determined based on the position information and identification information which denotes a function of the processing unit via the connector, and a control unit configured to be connected with the connectors in compliance with a standard for a transmission line in an IP (internet protocol) network, and to manage the IP address and the identification information of the processing unit.

Abstract: A moving image playback apparatus capable of starting within a short time to play back reverse direction moving images is provided. The apparatus includes two decoders and one output buffer. In standby, using I-picture in a specified GOP as a reference, a controller causes a storage device to sequentially read first coded image data of the pictures in a first GOP preceding a specified GOP and the pictures up to I-picture in the specified GOP, and causes a first decoder to decode the first coded image data. Moreover, during the decoding of the first decoder, the controller causes the storage device to sequentially read second coded image data of the pictures in the specified GOP and the pictures up to I-picture in a second GOP following the specified GOP, and causes a second decoder to decode the second coded image data. Thereafter, the controller causes the outputs from the first and second decoders to be written to the output buffer.

Abstract: An input image signal is coded by an encoder to be outputted as a basic code string, and the basic code string is delayed by a code-string delay circuit for a predetermined period of time to be outputted as an additional code string. The basic code string is synthesized with the additional code string by a code-string synthesizer to be outputted as an output code string. Thus, there is provided an image data coding system which can quickly restore data even if the data is lost due to error and in which the increased code amount is less than the cycle refresh and the error correction.
