Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus, a data processing method, a program, a program recording medium, a data recording medium, and a data structure that enable reading of coded video data in access units without analyzing the coded video data. In step S211, a private_stream—2 packet is searched for, which is used for decoding coded video data, and which is located immediately prior to each of one or more decode startable points in coded video data in the access units. In addition, in step S216, based on an AU_length which is included in the private_stream—2 packet, and which represents the size of each of access units located from the private_stream—2 packet to the next private_stream—2 packet, the coded video data is read in the access units. The present invention can be applied to, for example, game machine using DVDs, etc.

Abstract: A musical tone control system for a grand-type piano, which not only enables a shutter to be mounted on a hammer without any inconvenience even when a space above the hammer is small, but also is capable of properly controlling musical tones to be sounded. In this system, first to third optical sensors are disposed along the length of a hammer shank. Depression or non-depress of a key and a pivoting direction of an associated hammer are determined based on signals from the first and second optical sensors, respectively. Further, the pivoting speed of the hammer is calculated based on a signal from the third optical sensor. A musical tone to be sounded is controlled based on the determined depression or non-depression of the key and pivoting direction and the calculated speed of the hammer.

In a case where a 24-bit mode is set, when a determination section determines that the DSP is accessing the external memory, a control section commands to place an access from the CPU to the external memory in a wait state. In a case where a 16-bit mode is set, the control section commands an address-data switching section, allowing the CPU to access the external memory by utilizing a third bus cycle, which is free.
