Abstract:
1. A reproduced image transmitting apparatus which transmits reproduced images through a bidirectional network comprising an IEEE1394 interface having two transfer modes, an isochronous transfer mode in which a band is ensured, and an asynchronous transfer mode in which images are transferred asynchronously, comprising: a data storage means for storing reproduced image data; a data processing means for processing the reproduced image data which are read from the data storage means so as to transmit the reproduced image data and a reproduction control parameter for controlling reproduction of the reproduced image data, in the isochronous transfer mode, wherein the reproduced image data is an MPEG transport stream, and the reproduction control parameter is associated with an instruction for decoding and displaying processes for the MPEG transport stream; and a control signal for controlling reverse reproduction of images, the control signal embedded in unused parts of the MPEG transport stream.
