Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a moving image generating unit configured to generate moving image data; an instruction unit configured to provide a frame rate changing instruction to change a frame rate of the moving image data; a control unit configured to control the moving image generating unit in accordance with the frame rate changing instruction provided by the instruction unit such that the frame rate of the moving image data generated by the moving image generating unit is changed from a first frame rate to a second frame rate; an additional information generating unit configured to generate additional information indicating a period from a frame of the moving image data of the first frame rate to a frame rate changing point at which the frame rate of the moving image data generated by the moving image generating unit is changed from the first frame rate to the second frame rate in accordance with the frame rate changing instruction provided by the instruction unit; a multiplexing unit configured to add the additional information to the moving image data of the first frame rate generated by the moving image generating unit, wherein the multiplexing unit starts to add the additional information to each frame of the moving image data of the first frame rate from a predetermined period before the frame rate changing point, wherein a value of the additional information added to the moving image data of the first frame rate is decremented by one at every frame; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the moving image data and the additional information output from the multiplexing unit.
