Abstract:
1. A transmitting apparatus, comprising: a stream inputting portion inputting plural transport streams; an information adding portion adding additional information containing therein a stream identifier used to identify at least corresponding transport stream to respective transport stream packets of the plural transport streams thus inputted; a stream synthesizing portion synthesizing the plural transport streams in which the additional information is added to each of the transport stream packets, thereby obtaining one stream; and a stream transmitting portion transmitting the resulting one stream to an external apparatus, wherein the information adding portion adds the additional information forward, backward or midway with respect to each of the transport stream packets; wherein when one stream is transmitted to the external apparatus, the stream transmitting portion transmits a valid signal representing a valid signal period of time to the external apparatus in correspondence to each of transport stream packets; and when a part of or all of the additional information is added either forward or backward with respect to the transport stream packet, the valid signal represents each of a period of time of the transport stream packet, and a period of time of the additional information added either forward or backward with respect to the transport stream packet as a valid signal period of time.
