An information bit stream distribution device comprising processing circuitry
- to acquire an information bit stream having a valid bit stream including transmission data and an invalid bit stream including dummy data, to extract, from the transmission data included in the valid bit stream of the information bit stream acquired, transmission data whose number of bits is represented by sb as first transmission data, and to output, as a first information bit stream in which the first transmission data is transmitted at a first speed, an information bit stream having a valid bit stream including the first transmission data and an invalid bit stream including dummy data, and
- to extract, from the transmission data included in the valid bit stream of the information bit stream acquired, transmission data, whose number of bits is represented by st, other than the first transmission data as second transmission data, and to output, as a second information bit stream in which the second transmission data is transmitted at a second speed, an information bit stream having a valid bit stream including the second transmission data and an invalid bit stream including dummy data,
- wherein the number sb is determined according to the first speed at which the first transmission data is transmitted,
- the number st is determined according to the second speed at which the second transmission data is transmitted,
- the number sb increases as the first speed increases. and
- the number st increases as the second speed increases.
