RECEIVER, CLOCK ADJUSTMENT METHOD, AND BROADCAST SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a receiver or the like capable of suppressing frequency of the occurrence of overflow and underflow in a reception buffer thereby improving the stability of data reception.

SOLUTION: The receiver 2 for receiving digital data from a transmitter 1 via a network 3 includes: a receiver side clock 56; a reception buffer 35; a reception buffer monitoring section 37; and an adjustment section 53. The receiver side clock 56 generates a clock signal at a prescribed time interval for processing digital data. The reception buffer 35 stores the digital data. The reception buffer monitoring section 37 monitors a data storage amount in the reception buffer 35. The adjustment section 53 adjusts the time interval to generate the clock signal on the basis of a relationship between the data storage amount at the start of a determination time interval and a data storage amount after the determination time interval when variations in the data storage amount are kept within a prescribed range during the determination time interval.
