TRANSMISSION DEVICE, TRANSMISSION METHOD, RECEPTION DEVICE, AND RECEPTION METHOD

摘要

An image encoding unit generates a video stream by encoding image data of each picture that constitutes moving image data. A transmission unit transmits a container in a predetermined format that continuously includes a first video stream and a second video stream generated in the image encoding unit. The first video stream and the second video stream are composed of first to Mth streams out of first to Nth streams (M≦N). The transmission unit applies a fixed identifier to the respective first to Nth streams. The image encoding unit can prevent an occurrence of a display mute in a case of switching services.
