Abstract:
A device for synchronizing data processing, receiving N (N=integer, 1.ltoreq.N) pieces of data sequences, each sequence comprising plural data blocks, said device comprising:N data processing/output means, each means for processing data included in an input data sequence and outputting processed data, according to synchronous information; andmeans of synchronizing data processing/output, which updates a reference of synchronization, according to a data block boundary designating information that shows boundaries of data blocks constituting N pieces of data sequences, and outputs the synchronous information to the N data processing/output means, according to data processing/output timings of the N pieces of data sequences, so that the N data processing/output means are synchronized with each other and process and output data in the respective data sequences in correct timings along the temporal order.
