<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To distribute an image with high definition by suppressing deterioration in image quality when simultaneously outputting code data encoded by multiple mutually different encoding systems in a multi-stream encoding controller. <P>SOLUTION: When image data is encoded by two or more kinds of mutually different encoding systems, an encoding prediction part 204 determines setting for a succeeding encoding, based on any one or more among: a code amount and an encoding parameter after encoding; a code amount and an encoding parameter in encoding prior to the encoding; a frame rate for encoding; and an output rate of an output part 203, concerning the encoding by the respective encoding systems in an encoding part 202. Consequently, the total sum per unit time of the code amounts in the encoding performed by the multiple encoding systems can be controlled in accordance with a transmission rate of the output part 203. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
