Stuffing additional data in a payload area of packets of a digital broadcast stream

摘要

A transmission stream (TS) generating apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an adaptor which receives general data and generates a stream having a plurality of packets, and which provides adaptive field in some of the plurality of packets, and an inserter which inserts additional data into all the payload areas of some of the plurality of packets that are not provided with the adaptive fields. Because additional data is transmitted, without requiring adaptive field header in certain packet, data transmission rate is increased.
