Abstract: Initial synchronization is achieved without depending on fluctuations of a transmission packet transfer delay time in a network. An IP packet having a multiplexed transport packet containing media data is received via a network. The IP packet is processed, and media presentation by the media data is controlled. A presentation timing is controlled on the basis of a network delay time in communication between a transmission side and a reception apparatus via the network. For example, the multiplexed transport packet is a TS packet making up an MPEG-2 transport stream.

Abstract: A color coating layer is formed on the surface of a stainless steel plate by a chemical coloring method or an electrolytic coloring method. Thereafter, a colored stainless steel plate having the color coating layer is cold-rolled, the thickness of the color coating layer is adjusted to between 0.05 ?m and 1.0 ?m, and an entire plate thickness is adjusted to 0.5 mm or less. By the cold rolling a Vickers hardness Hv is between 250 and 550 to form a deformed band. As surface roughness, an arithmetic average roughness Ra is adjusted to between 0.05 ?m and 5.0 ?m. In this manner, the strength and rigidity of a thin colored stainless steel plate can be secured, and a color stainless steel plate and a colored stainless steel coil which do not easily cause galling and are excellent in press moldability can be obtained.

Abstract: A stainless steel plate for press forming includes a stainless steel having a recess formed along grain boundaries on a base surface of the stainless steel; and a surface film that is formed on a surface of the stainless steel that includes the recess, that is composed of at least one of an Fe and Cr-based oxide film and an Fe and Cr-based hydroxide film, and that has a thickness of equal to or greater than 0.1 ?m and equal to or less than 3.0 ?m, wherein a groove is formed correspondingly to the recess on the surface side of the stainless steel. The stainless steel plate has superior galling resistance and press formability during press forming even if general-purpose stainless steel and an extreme pressure additive, such as a non-chlorine-based additive, or a low viscosity press oil are used.
