## Abstract

In the case that the video and audio information obtained from the digital broadcast or a digital recording medium coded according to a predetermined information processing rule is digitally transmitted, the normal reproduction and special reproduction are performed reproducibly as in the case of an analog signal processing equipment. A data reproduction transmission apparatus for reproducing the video and audio information coded according to a predetermined information processing rule provided with a decoding means 2 for decoding the coded data that includes the video and audio information, a data conversion means 3 for converting the digital data obtained from the decoding means 2 to the video and audio information that is acceptable for an analog signal processing equipment, and a data restructuring means 4 for restructuring coded data or decoded digital data that includes at lease the video and audio information to the coded data that is acceptable for a digital signal processing equipment.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A data reproduction transmission apparatus comprising:
a reproduction means for reproducing the video information coded according to a predetermined information processing rule,
a supplying means for supplying the coded data or the decoded data generated by decoding the coded data that includes at least the video information,
a data restructuring means for restructuring the coded data or the decoded data to the coded data that conforms to a predetermined transmission format wherein said predetermined transmission format is MPEG TS, and
an output means for supplying the restructured coded data to a digital transmission medium;
wherein, in the case that the coded data that includes the video information is multiplexed previously, the data restructuring means has;
an image extraction means for extracting an intra picture from the multiplexed coded data,
an image interpolation means for interpolating B picture or P picture between intra pictures extracted by the image extraction means, and
a selection means that is controlled so as to select the output of the multiplexed coded data during normal reproduction, and so as to select the output of the image interpolation means during special reproduction.

### Claim 2

A data reproduction transmission apparatus comprising:
a reproduction means for reproducing the video information coded according to a predetermined information processing rule,
a supplying means for supplying the coded data or the decoded data generated by decoding the coded data that includes at least the video information,
a data restructuring means for restructuring the coded or the decoded data to the coded data that conforms to a predetermined transmission format wherein said predetermined transmission format is MPEG-TS, and
an output means for supplying the restructured coded data to a digital transmission medium;
wherein in the case that the coded data that includes the video information is multiplexed and decoded previously, the data restructuring means has;
a coding means for re-coding the data generated by decoding the coded data so that the re-coded data is acceptable for a digital signal processing apparatus,
an image interpolation means for interpolating B picture or P picture between intra pictures coded by the coding means, and
a selection means that is controlled so as to select the multiplexed coded data during normal reproduction, and so as to select the output of the image interpolation means during special reproduction.
