When performing channel switching or channel zapping at a terminal side in a distribution system, it is possible to instantaneously perform channel switching or channel zapping without giving a stress to an end user by a wait time. A conversion device (102 in Fig. 1) receives content information (such as a stream) distributed from a distribution server (101) via a transmission path (104) and transmits the received content information to a terminal (103) via a transmission path. The conversion device (102) converts a head frame of the content information to a non-prediction frame according to a request (content information connection request or switching request) from the terminal (103) and outputs other frames than the head frame of the content information in a through mode. |
