ENCODED STREAM SENDING DEVICE

摘要

The accuracy of time information set in a packet is improved. Time information calculator 24 calculates time information, using the encoding information received by control information receiver 23 and the encoded stream received by encoded stream receiver 21. When the time information is not pertinent, time information calculator 24 corrects the time information and outputs the corrected time information. Encoded stream packetizer 22 packetizes the encoded stream by setting the time information output by time information calculator 24 into the header portion.
