Patent ID: 8842218

Claim:
A video/audio data output device comprising: a demultiplexing section that demultiplexes a video stream signal, an audio stream signal, and a system clock from an input signal; a video decoder that generates video data by decoding the video stream signal; an audio decoder that generates audio data by decoding the audio stream signal; a video output section that outputs the video data in synchronism with the system clock; an audio output section that outputs the audio data in synchronism with the system clock; a video adjusting section that processes a video frame that has been output from the video output section; an audio output adjusting section that delays the system clock to be supplied to the audio output section, in accordance with a length of time that the video adjusting section takes to process the video frame; a video buffer provided between the demultiplexing section and the video decoder; and an audio buffer provided between the demultiplexing section and the audio decoder, and wherein the audio buffer includes a capacity that buffers the audio stream signal of a length of time corresponding to an output timing delay introduced in the audio data by the audio output adjusting section, in addition to a length of time that the video stream signal is held in the video buffer.
