INTERFACE DEVICE AND RECEPTION DEVICE COMPRISING SAME

摘要

An interface device (2) for sending out a data signal (DATA) in synchronization with a clock signal (CLK) comprises: a reception unit (4) that subjects an input carrier to a demodulation process and an error correction process and that outputs a signal as subjected to these processes; a TS packet acquisition unit (5) that acquires a TS packet included in the output of the reception unit; a variable-length packet acquisition unit (6) that acquires a variable-length packet included in the output of the reception unit; and a first selector (7) that selects either the TS packet or the variable-length packet and that outputs the selected packet as the data signal.
