Abstract
This enables synchronous acquisition of a plurality of pieces of image data on the reception side. Each of the plurality of pieces of image data is encoded by an encoder to obtain a plurality of streams. A container of a predetermined format containing the plurality of streams is transmitted. A plurality of encoders performs encoding so as to achieve matching in display timings of corresponding pictures of the plurality of pieces of image data. Alternatively, the plurality of encoders inserts information for associating pictures with each other into each of encoded image data of corresponding pictures of the plurality of pieces of image data.
Claims20
A transmission apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of encoders that encodes each of a plurality of pieces of image data to obtain a plurality of streams;
- and
- a transmission unit that transmits a container of a predetermined format containing the plurality of streams,
- wherein the plurality of encoders encodes the plurality of pieces of image data so as to achieve matching in display timings of corresponding pictures.
(canceled)
A reception apparatus comprising
- a reception unit that receives a container of a predetermined format including a plurality of streams obtained by encoding each of a plurality of pieces of image data,
- the plurality of pieces of image data being encoded so as to achieve matching in display timings of corresponding pictures, and
- the reception apparatus further comprising
- a control unit that controls decode processing of decoding the plurality of streams to obtain the plurality of pieces of image data and controls processing using the plurality of pieces of image data.
(canceled)
A transmission apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of encoders that encodes each of a plurality of pieces of image data to obtain a plurality of streams;
- and
- a transmission unit that transmits a container of a predetermined format containing the plurality of streams,
- wherein each of the plurality of encoders inserts information for associating pictures with each other into encoded image data of corresponding pictures of the plurality of pieces of image data.
