Abstract
A packet converter according to an embodiment is mountable on a digital broadcast receiver. The packet converter includes: a variable-length packet acquirer configured to acquire a variable-length packet acquired by receiving digital broadcast signals; an analyzer configured to analyze at least a header between the header and a payload of the variable-length packet; a packet reassembler configured to reassemble, from the variable-length packet, a plurality of transport stream (TS) packets each having a TS header, wherein the packet reassembler is configured to set a value of a packet ID (PID) in the TS header based at least on an analysis result of the header of the variable-length packet; and a TS packet outputter configured to output the plurality of TS packets.

A packet converter mountable on a digital broadcast receiver, comprising:
- a variable-length packet acquirer configured to acquire a variable-length packet acquired by receiving digital broadcast signals;
- an analyzer configured to analyze at least a header between the header and a payload of the variable-length packet;
- a packet reassembler configured to reassemble, from the variable-length packet, a plurality of transport stream (TS) packets each having a TS header, wherein the packet reassembler is configured to set a value of a packet ID (PID) in the TS header based at least on an analysis result of the header of the variable-length packet;
- and
- a TS packet outputter configured to output the plurality of TS packets.
A digital broadcast receiver, comprising:
- a receiver-processor to receive digital broadcast signals;
- a packet converter including:
- a variable-length packet acquirer configured to acquire a variable-length packet acquired by receiving the digital broadcast signals;
- an analyzer configured to analyze at least a header between the header and a payload of the variable-length packet;
- a packet reassembler configured to reassemble, from the variable-length packet, a plurality of transport stream (TS) packets each having a TS header, wherein the packet reassembler is configured to set a value of a packet ID (PID) in the TS header based at least on an analysis result of the header of the variable-length packet;
- and
- a TS packet outputter configured to output the plurality of TS packets;
- and
- a TS signal processor.
A packet converting method for a digital broadcast receiver, comprising:
- acquiring a variable-length packet acquired by receiving digital broadcast signals;
- analyzing at least a header between the header and a payload of the variable-length packet;
- reassembling, from the variable-length packet, a plurality of transport stream (TS) packets each having a TS header, wherein the reassembling comprises setting a value of a packet ID (PID) in the TS header based at least on an analysis result of the header of the variable-length packet;
- and
- outputting the plurality of TS packets.
