<p>A method and an apparatus capable of transmitting and receiving multiplexed signals as serial data in such a manner that, even in a state where a continuous signal such as an audio digital signal is not in synchronism with another signal such as a video digital signal, the continuous signal can be properly reproduced on a reception side (20). Address data based on a word clock of another digital signal is sampled (16) on a transmission side in accordance with a sampling clock of the continuous signal, and the sampled address value is included (13) in the multiplexed signals to be thereby transmitted together to the reception side (20). Then on the reception side (20), a word clock synchronously locked to the word clock of the transmission-side another digital signal is reproduced (22) from the received serial data, and address data is generated (23) on the basis of the reproduced word clock, so that the reception-side clock of the continuous signal is reproduced (26) from the generated address data and the transmitted address value included in the multiplexed signals, whereby the continuous signal is reproduced (25) in accordance with the clock thus reproduced. <IMAGE></p> |
