Abstract
To allow good transmission and reception of a plurality of streams of data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of data channels. A transmitting side transmits a plurality of streams of data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of data channels, through a transmission path. At this time, the transmitting side inserts, into each of the plurality of streams of data, identification information for identifying the corresponding data channel. A receiving side determines to which of the data channels each of the plurality of streams of data corresponds, on the basis of the inserted identification information. Thereafter, on the basis of the determination result, the receiving side processes the plurality of streams of data.
Claims11
A transmission apparatus comprising:
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a plurality of streams of data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of data channels, to an external apparatus through a transmission path;
- and
- an information addition unit configured to add, to each of the plurality of streams of data, identification information for identifying the corresponding data channel.
A transmission method comprising:
- a transmission step of transmitting, by a transmission unit, a plurality of streams of data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of data channels, to an external apparatus through a transmission path;
- and
- an information addition step of adding, to each of the plurality of streams of data, identification information for identifying the corresponding data channel.
A reception apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive a plurality of streams of data, to each of which identification information for identifying a corresponding data channel is added, from an external apparatus through a transmission path;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine to which of the data channels each of the plurality of streams of data corresponds, on the basis of the inserted identification information.
A reception method comprising:
- a reception step of receiving, by a reception unit, a plurality of streams of data, to each of which identification information for identifying a corresponding data channel is added, from an external apparatus through a transmission path;
- and
- a determination step of determining to which of the data channels each of the plurality of streams of data corresponds, on the basis of the inserted identification information.
