Pointer action in an SDH transmission apparatus is performed in a temporally evenly dispersed manner. Timings of a received VC-4 clock and a transmit VC-4 clock, whose portions corresponding to overhead are inhibited in a clustered fashion, are evened out by a receiving-side PLL circuit and a transmitting-side PLL circuit, respectively, after which their phases are compared in a phase comparator to generate a justification request. In another aspect of the present invention, the phase comparison is made between VC-4 clocks whose clock inhibit timings are dispersed. In a further aspect of the present invention, a justification request arising from a frequency difference between the transmitting and receiving sides is combined with the justification contained in the received frame.
