A video/audio data generating apparatus has a first processing section (1) which receives a video/audio signal formed of a video signal channel and a plurality of audio channels, and converts the video and audio channel contents of each video frame to respective sets of compressed data which are supplied to a second processing section (2), which generates a series of data frames conveying the contents of the video/audio signal. The data frames are respectively identified by headers, while in addition it is ensured that the data rate of the generated data frames is substantially identical for the case of both NTSC format data and PAL format data, so that a data processing apparatus which operates on the data frames can readily be configured to use a single system to perform processing of both NTSC and PAL data frames, irrespective of the different video frame frequencies of the NTSC and PAL formats. <IMAGE> |
