Patent ID: 8615154

Claim:
A video-audio processing apparatus, comprising: an audio output unit that outputs sound based on audio data that includes a time stamp; an audio controller that controls the audio output unit; a video-image capture unit that captures a video image of an object to create video data; a data encoder that encodes the video data to create encoded video data; a data decoder that decodes the encoded video data to create video data; and a display controller that causes display of a video image based on the video data, wherein the encoded video data includes a time stamp that is different from the time stamp of the audio data, wherein the audio controller causes the audio output unit to output the sound when the video-image capture unit starts to capture a video image, wherein when the display controller causes display of the video image decoded from the encoded video data, the audio controller causes the audio output unit to output the sound in synchronization of the time stamp of the audio data with the time stamp of the encoded video data.
