Receiver apparatus and synchronization processing method thereof

Abstract

[Object] When two image streams to be synchronized and reproduced are separately transmitted by broadcasting and by the Internet, to successfully synchronize and reproduce the two image streams. [Solving Means] A receiver apparatus includes: a broadcast receiver capable of receiving one of a plurality of images as a broadcast stream via broadcasting, a time reference value being added to the plurality of images, the plurality of images being to be synchronized and reproduced; a communication receiver capable of receiving the other of the plurality of images as a communication stream via a network; a criterion time generator configured to generate criterion time based on the time reference value of the broadcast stream, the criterion time being used to generate timing to present the plurality of images; and an adjuster configured to adjust the criterion time based on an amount of delay of the time reference value of the communication stream behind the criterion time.
