  • Publication number: 20070076764
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an MPEG2-TTS is generated by adding time stamps to each packet in an MPEG2-TS (step ST41) and the MPEG2-TTS is transmitted to a communication channel (the Internet, etc.) (step ST45). At this time, if null packets are included in an original MPEG2-TS, all null packets are removed from the MPEG2-TTS before it is transmitted. Thereby, an averaged rate of data transfer is decreased. Since each packet in the MPEG2-TTS has a time stamp, each packet can be decoded at original timing then synchronization of broadcasting times between a transmission and a reception is secured.

  • Publication number: 20050265699
    Abstract: A demultiplexer unit separates a transport stream (TS) of an input digital broadcast into video information and audio information. A video decoder decodes the video information output from the demultiplexer unit to output a video signal. An encoder encodes the video signal output from the video decoder. A buffer stores the audio information output from the demultiplexer unit. A remultiplexing unit multiplexes video information encoded by the encoder and the audio information stored in the buffer. An HDD stores the video and audio information multiplexed in the remultiplexing unit.
