TRANSMISSION METHOD AND RECEPTION METHOD

摘要

A transmission method for transmitting encoded data obtained by hierarchically encoding a video image includes: generating an encoded stream that includes time information and the encoded data, the time information indicating a time at which decoding or displaying processing of the encoded data is performed, and transmitting the generated encoded stream, wherein the encoded data includes a plurality of sets each including a plurality of access units and the time information includes first time information which indicates a time at which the processing performed on a first access unit of the first set is performed and which is based on a reference clock, and second time information used to specify a time at which the processing performed on a second access unit of the second set is performed and which is based on the reference clock.
