Abstract:
1. A moving image encoding apparatus for encoding a moving image signal, comprising: a plurality of encoding units configured to encode the moving image signal and output encoded data; a distribution unit configured to output the input moving image signal on a frame basis to each encoding unit; a composition unit configured to multiplex the encoded data which is output from each encoding unit to output a bit stream; a counter unit configured to count a sync signal of a frame of the input moving image signal; and a notifying unit configured to decide a picture number for identifying the frame which is encoded by each encoding unit, on the basis of a count value of the counter unit and a value corresponding to the number of the plurality of encoding units and notify each encoding unit of the picture number of the frame which is encoded by the encoding unit, wherein each encoding unit obtains the image signal of the frame to be subjected to encoding among the input moving image signal, from the distribution unit on the basis of the picture number notified from the notifying unit and encodes the obtained image signal.
